Alcohol effects on the fetus of a new study shows that women during pregnancy as long as there is enough drinking a lot of the children not yet born constitute a permanent brain damage. Although the experiments carried out during the study which was carried out in mice, but experts say the finding could explain why drinking habits of mothers of children will experience difficulties in learning and other brain dysfunction.

Research shows that mice (human may also be the case) in a developmental stage in a large number of brain cells in the formation of memory, learning and thinking activities such as the required connectivity, the nervous system most vulnerable to alcohol damage. In humans, the brain rapidly developing process of pregnancy from the first 6 months beginning after the child is born and will continue for two years. The process of rapid development of brains in rats occurred within two weeks after birth. In the latest edition of the American “Science” magazine published the study’s lead author, University of Washington School of Medicine researcher John. Dr. Olney said: “We will this time period known as the brain growth spurt. Spurt in brain development period, as long as there is a prolonged exposure to alcohol – continued to 4 hours or more – enough to kill a large number of brain cells. brain after alcohol appears to accept a large number of self-destruction of the wave of brain cells. hundreds of millions of brain cells die off in droves. “
