Title of project:
The neurodevelopmental consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure: a population based MRI study
Proposal summary:
The association between heavy alcohol use in pregnancy and offspring neurodevelopmental defects is well established. However, studies examining low-to-moderate alcohol intake during the prenatal period have produced contradictory results, with some reporting beneficial effects to offspring. This project aims to utilise the existing neuroimaging data in ALSPAC to conduct a large scale population study to examine the relationship of low-to-moderate prenatal alcohol exposure and structural brain morphology in adolescence.
