Teratogens Teratology is the study of abnormalities of physiological development. Narrowly thought of as the study of birth defects, it is much broader than that, taking in other developmental stages, such as puberty; and other life forms, such as plants. The term was popularized in the 1960s by Dr. David W. Smith of the University of Washington Medical School, who became known in 1973 for the discovery of Fetal alcohol syndrome.
