Abstract:
In terms of prenatal alcohol-induced alterations in neurobehavioral outcomes such as attention, activity level, and information-processing speed, a threshold of alcohol consumption may be difficult to determine. Studies on humans indicate that seven standard drinks per week may be the threshold for the most sensitive neurobehaviors but may not apply to all women and all babies.
