This study shows that valproic acid exposure in zebrafish larvae disrupts social visual lateralization and causes asymmetric gene expression changes in brain regions associated with social behavior.

This study examines how embryonic valproate exposure affects dopaminergic neuron distribution and gene expression in domestic chicks, linking these changes to potential ASD-related neurodevelopmental impacts.

This study shows that valproic acid exposure in embryonic chicks impairs their spontaneous preference for face-like stimuli, suggesting a model for early social deficit biomarkers in ASD.
