Abstract

Several embryonic structural and functional deficits are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Kirill V. Larin and co‐workers (e1700238) use in utero speckle variance optical coherence tomography to evaluate vasculature changes in the embryonic brain minutes after maternal alcohol consumption. A significant reduction in vessel diameter was observed 45 minutes after alcohol exposure as compared to the sham group, suggesting a plausible deficit of oxygen and nutrient delivery into developing brain.
