Early maternal alcohol consumption alters hippocampal DNA methylation, gene expression and volume in a mouse model.

The adverse effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy are known, but the molecular events that lead to the phenotypic characteristics are unclear. To unravel the molecular mechanisms, we have used a mouse model of gestational ethanol exposure, which is based on maternal ad libitum ingestion of...
