Mouse Model of Prenatal Valproic Acid Exposure: Effects on Cortical Morphogenesis and Behavioral Outcomes Across Environmental Conditions.

Toxicol Lett

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by impaired social communication and repetitive behaviors, and environmental and genetic factors are involved in its onset. The use of the antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy is associated with neural tube defects and developmental disorders in the fetus. In this study, we aimed to identify abnormalities in cortical morphogenesis owing to prenatal VPA exposure and to elucidate the abnormalities in brain function associated with these abnormalities, particularly by comparing multiple and single environments.

Tinnitus, the auditory perception of sound without an external environmental stimulus, affects 15% of the human population and is associated with hearing loss. Interestingly, anxiety may be a significant risk factor in tinnitus pathophysiology potentially due to underlying common neural circuits of the auditory and limbic systems. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of stress-induced anxiety on tinnitus development in a rat model.

Background: The Wenckebach phenomenon of atrioventricular conduction is deemed a physiological response of the atrioventricular node to a high atrial rate. However, the reverse Wenckebach phenomenon is under-recognized.

Case Summary: We report an instance of reverse Wenckebach phenomenon developing into complete heart block in a 33-year-old man who experienced syncope after surgical repair of prolapsed bicuspid aortic valves.
