Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) refer to the range of neurological issues caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), impacting brain development.
PAE leads to various brain malformations and disruptions, and recent research suggests that neuroinflammation may contribute significantly to these neurotoxic effects.
The text emphasizes the need for more attention on neuroinflammation in diagnosing and treating FASD, discussing potential therapeutic interventions involving anti-inflammatory drugs and nutraceuticals.
