Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Disrupts Performance in a Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates Task Specifically in Adolescent Male Rats.

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can lead to a wide range of adverse effects in humans, including impaired self-control and increased impulsive behavior. Deficits in self-control can interfere with academic performance and have lasting impacts. In the present study, a rodent model of PAE was used to assess impulsivity through operant conditioning.
