There are many documented behavioral manipulations that have been used to characterize the functional consequences of PNEE in animal models that often correlate with known human dysfunctions [see Ref. (208) for a review of human behavioral work]. With respect to animal models, behavioral experiments are necessary tools when assessing the use of novel therapeutic approaches for PNEE offspring. Here, we will outline five major classes of behavior, including several key behavioral tasks where performance is affected by prenatal ethanol ingestion, injection and inhalation.
