Answer to Question 1

Answer: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is associated with use of alcohol by a mother during pregnancy. The symptoms of FAS include mental retardation, abnormal facial development, and deficient brain development.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Interruption of blood flow depletes the region of oxygen and glucose, which causes the release of glutamate. Cells that are overstimulated by glutamate die and are then consumed by microglia.
