Analyze the following two scenarios and explain the most likely differences in the developmental outcomes for the children, based on the timing of significant alcohol exposure during pregnancy.

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy disrupts fetal brain development by interfering with neural adhesion proteins that guide neuron growth and by impairing neural plasticity. It also harms neuronal stem and progenitor cells. Importantly, specific regions of the brain have their own sensitive periods, during which they are most susceptible to the teratogenic effects of alcohol.
