In this episode, Dr. Wozniak and Dr. Gimbel provide updates on their groundbreaking follow-up study on the effects of choline in children with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). They delve into how choline can help optimize brain development and share the promising results from their initial studies.

Tune in to learn about:

Choline's Role in Brain Development: Discover how choline supplementation can aid in memory and cognitive development in children with PAE and why early intervention is key.
 
-Long-Term Study Findings  Dr. Wozniak discusses the lasting impacts observed in children years after the initial choline study, highlighting improvements in nonverbal intelligence and memory.
 
- Brain Imaging Insights: Dr. Gimbel explains their innovative brain imaging study, revealing how differences in brain structure correlate with cognitive and executive function challenges in youth with FASD.
 
- New Research Opportunities: Learn about their latest study using a novel web-based brain assessment tool, BRAIN-online, aimed at making diagnostic assessments more accessible and efficient.

Whether you're a seasoned caregiver or new to the journey, this episode offers practical advice, cutting-edge research, and hopeful insights into managing and understanding FASD.
