Animal model findings are also presented in the article by Schneider et al., which presents an overview of the rodent animal model data and then describes findings from one of the few primate models of FASD. What is perhaps most compelling in this model is that the dose of alcohol used produces blood alcohol levels in the moderate range, while showing both brain and behavioral data consistent with the rodent data in which higher blood alcohol levels are often used and the human data where the exposure data is often unavailable or inaccurate. Furthermore, this model includes a stress component, which is relevant given that early stress may be a significant contributing factor in FASD.
