ABSTRACT Objective: Embryonic exposure to valproic acid is a widely used model for the study of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders. In zebrafish, early exposure to valproic acid results in the major behavioral, neurological, and genetic phenotypes of this disorder. Autism spectrum disorders have several associated symptoms, such as changes in sensory processing, sleep problems, and hyper- or hyposensitivity to light. This work investigates the hypothesis of changes at the retinal level due to embryonic exposure to valproic […]
