“…Such deficits have been described in a great many regions and structures of the developing mammalian brain and brainstem, including the cerebral cortex [Miller, 1986], hippocampus [Barnes and Walker, 1981;West et al, 1986], cerebellum [Hamre and West, 1993;Pierce et al, 1993;Goodlett and Eilers, 1997], substantia nigra [Shetty et al, 1993], red nucleus [Zajac et al, 1989], inferior olivary nucleus [Napper and West, 1995], basal ganglia [Heaton et al, 1996;Mattson et al, 1994], olfactory bulb [Bonthius and West, 1991;Bonthius et al, 1992], optic nerve [Ashwell and Zhang, 1994], corpus callosum [Riley et al, 1995], chief sensory trigeminal nucleus [Miller and Muller, 1988] and the oculomotor nucleus [Burrows et al, 1995]. Very little information is available concerning ethanol effects on neurological structures caudal to the brainstem, however.…”
