Increased cases of infants with FAS, is not only happening in 3rd countries. However, also occurs in developed countries like America, England, and France. In fact, recently the researchers in the United States can identify FAS-affected infants during blinking or eye blink conditioning (EBC).
The research shows women who consume alcohol during pregnancy can weaken or damage the child's ability as blinking or EBC.
Jacobson joint research team later reported their findings in the Journal of Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research. Research conducted in Cape Town, South Africa, conducted on 98 children aged 5 years who undergo tests and eye blink children who served as healthy control group. "We want to see, whether can use the EBC paradigm to identify, weaken or reduce Sub cortical the brain, which are especially influenced alcohol intake during pregnancy on the child," he said.
The result, none of the children who suffer from FAS normal results when tested for EBC compared with 75 percent in healthy children. Meanwhile, for children who have milder effects of alcohol, usually undergo more testing sessions for the normal EBC results.
