Properties of the prefrontal tracts and cingulum bundle in children with prenatal alcohol exposure

Highlights

•
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can have lasting effects on the brain
•
We studied 29 youth with PAE and 42 matched controls using diffusion imaging
•
Youth with PAE had lower diffusivity in the right cingulum and several intra-frontal tracts
•
Youth with PAE had more behavioural challenges, but these were not associated with diffusion metrics
