Acute Ethanol Produces Ataxia and Induces Fmr1 Expression via Histone Modifications in the Rat Cerebellum.

Overall, EtOH regulates cerebellar Fmr1 expression most likely via HAT-mediated increase in histone acetylation. We propose that FMRP regulation of glutamatergic transcripts plays an important role in disrupting the excitatory-inhibitory balance in the cerebellum underlying EtOH-induced ataxia.
