Hippocampal neurons isolated from rats subjected to the valproic acid model mimic in vivo synaptic pattern: evidence of neuronal priming during early development in autism spectrum disorders
Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are synaptopathies characterized by area-specific synaptic alterations and neuroinflammation.Structural and adhesive features of hippocampal synapses have been described in the valproic acid (VPA) model.However, neuronal and microglial contribution to hippocampal synaptic pattern and its time-cour
