This study analyzes hyperactivity and cortisol levels in a prenatal VPA-induced marmoset model of ASD, finding elevated cortisol and erratic activity patterns linked to stress phenotypes.

This study shows that prenatal valproic acid exposure in marmosets leads to higher morning salivary cortisol levels, similar to ASD in humans.

This study identifies distinct synaptic and gene expression abnormalities in primate ASD models across developmental stages, suggesting potential targets for early therapeutic intervention.
