Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with a
wide range of cognitive and behavioral deficits.
Previous neuroimaging studies of PAE only focused on a
few brain regions or neural pathways despite evidences
that the teratogenic impact is widespread. The present
study examined PAE associated alterations of functional
connectivity in 7 brain networks and significant
reduction of functional connectivity was observed in 6
of them. The current results support the general
hypothesis of PAE associated large-scale
network-dysconnectivity thus motivating whole brain
connectivity based profiling.
