Product Description:

This study evaluated basis of verbal memory function in a group of 20 children and adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and 20 typically developing comparison participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Both groups showed prominent activation in the frontal-parietal-cerebellar network known to be important for verbal WM. Despite equivalent behavioral performance between groups, alcohol-exposed individuals showed increased activation relative to typically developing individuals in left dorsal frontal and left inferior parietal cortices and bilateral posterior temporal regions during verbal WM. These effects remained even when group differences on IQ were statistically controlled.
