Ethanol causes and lithium prevents neuroapoptosis and suppression of pERK in the infant mouse brain
Transient exposure of immature animals during the brain growth spurt period to ethanol triggers neuroapoptosis in the developing brain. Here we report that lithium, when administered in a single, well-tolerated dose to infant mice, suppresses spontaneous neuroapoptosis that occurs naturally in the d...
