Animal models had been investigated to clear the mechanism of neurobehavioral deficits caused by in-utero alcohol exposure. 5-HT1A agonist and antioxidants administration during pregnancy could attenuate in-utero alcohol-induced teratogenesis. Recently, activity-dependent neuroprotective peptides were reported to have the potential therapeutic effect for alcohol-related teratogenicity. Environmental and motor training for litters exposed to in-utero alcohol may have improve behavioral performance. We will review amelioration of fetal alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorders in animal models from the prevention and treatment.
