Moms-to-Be Who Drink May Damage Fetus' White Matter Study says brain microstructural changes may lead to cognitive problems

"FRIDAY, Dec. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can damage white matter in a fetus' frontal and occipital lobes, which play a major role in executive function and visual processing. The finding may help explain problems seen in infants whose mothers drink during pregnancy, a new study says.

The study was published online Dec. 19 and in the March print issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research."
