Three-Dimensional Cerebellum and Brainstem Models

Caption

Three-dimensional cerebellum (red) and brainstem (orange) models overlaid on a mid-sagittal view of a gestation day 135 (equivalent to early third trimester in human) fetus rhesus macaque image obtained with MRI. These two structures are found to be smaller, compared to age-matched controls, at this gestational age in fetuses exposed to maternal alcohol drinking throughout the first trimester.
