Current diagnosis relies on physical and neurological indicators, often identified years after birth, delaying intervention. Early detection is critical to reduce adverse outcomes, yet remains challenging due to symptom variability and overlap with other disorders. This research explores novel approaches for early FASD diagnosis by examining cerebral cortex development, a period highly sensitive to alcohol exposure and essential for future behavioral function. Findings aim to improve early identification strategies and inform therapeutic interventions during critical developmental windows. 000000740 540__ $$fCC BY 000000740 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000740 650__ $$aMalformations of Cortical Development$$037724 000000740 650__ $$aEthanol$$014406 000000740 650__ $$aMagnetic Resonance Imaging$$021747 000000740 650__ $$aDiffusion Tensor Imaging$$038582 000000740 650__ $$aPrenatal Exposure Delayed Effects$$024568 000000740 650__ $$aPregnancy$$024523 000000740 650__ $$aFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders$$040252 000000740 6531_ $$adevelopmental neurobiology 000000740 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000740 692__ $$aDepartment of Behavioral Neuroscience$$041394 000000740 7001_ $$aLeigland, Lindsey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000740 7201_ $$aKroenke, Christopher$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000740 8564_ $$91f3a1068-6b7c-4065-a3fe-4e255bba2f47$$s2305515$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/740/files/743_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$259e837debea3a62a5bcd33cf6fd543e3$$31 000000740 905__ $$a/rest/prod/f4/75/2g/72/f4752g72m 000000740 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:740$$pstudent-work 000000740 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
