Still Growing: Why Slower Doesn’t Mean Stuck in the FASD Brain
The scans are in, and they tell a different story.
Dr. Catherine Lebel, Canada’s leading FASD brain imaging researcher, joins Jeff Noble to share what MRI research reveals about how the brain develops after prenatal alcohol exposure and why the story is far more hopeful than most people think.
Through years of ground breaking studies, Dr. Lebel and her team have shown that the FASD brain doesn’t stop growing. It just grows differently and on its own timeline. Her work connects science and lived experience, giving caregivers something we all need more of: evidence-based hope.
In this conversation, Jeff and Dr. Lebel talk about:
• How brain development continues well into adulthood
• Why stable, loving environments can support brain growth
• What slower development really means in everyday life
• Why interventions are never wasted, even when progress feels slow
• How families can join the PEACH Study to help move FASD research forward
Dr. Lebel’s message is simple but powerful. The brain is still growing, still learning, and still capable of change. Different doesn’t mean broken. It means still developing.
