Combined Face-Brain Morphology and Associated Neurocognitive Correlates In Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

CONCLUSIONS: Combined morphology analysis of the caudate nucleus, and the corpus callosum, with the face, better identify those with FAS. Caudate nucleus asymmetry was reduced for FAS compared to controls and is strongly associated with general cognitive ability, verbal learning and recall in those with prenatal alcohol exposure. This study further extends the brain-behavior relationships known to be vulnerable to alcohol teratogenesis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
