This is a review of the literature on the effects of alcohol on white matter development. For many years, human and animal studies have reported the vulnerability of developing white matter to the effects of alcohol. However, until recently, studies on alcohol and white matter were limited by existing technology. New technology documenting the presence of neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels on glial cells now provides a new focus for research on alcohol and white matter development. New research using new technology should enlarge our knowledge of the role of glial cells in brain damage associated with alcohol exposure during development.
这是一篇关于酒精对白质发育影响的文献综述。多年来，人类和动物研究均报告了发育中的白质对酒精影响的易损性。然而，直到最近，关于酒精与白质的研究仍受现有技术限制。记录神经递质受体和离子通道在神经胶质细胞上存在的新技术，现在为酒精与白质发育的研究提供了新的焦点。使用新技术的新研究应能扩展我们对神经胶质细胞在发育过程中与酒精暴露相关脑损伤中所起作用的认识。
