2021). Alcohol exposure during the first 10 postnatal days in rats, which mimics ethanol consumption during the last gestational trimester in humans, increased acetylcholinesterase (Ach) activity and resulted in memory impairments (Bariselli et al. 2023). Moreover, Jiao et al. demonstrated memory impairments caused by long‐term ethanol intake in rats, which may be related to the regulation of hippocampal dysfunction (Jiao et al. 2023). This evidence concerns the gene ACHE and memory impairment.
