MRI Reveals Altered Brain Structure in Fetuses Exposed to Alcohol

Caption

Longitudinal growth trajectories of the periventricular zone (blue) and the corpus callosum (red) in fetuses with (PAE+) and without (PAE-) prenatal alcohol exposure. The volumetric relations of included images are not representative: The scaling has been altered to allow for an easy comparison of shape and structure of the respective compartments.
