Valproate exposure in ovo attenuates the acquisition of social preferences of young post-hatch domestic chicks

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 denever

Embryonic exposure to valproic acid (VPA) is known to produce sociability deficits, resembling human autistic phenotypes, in several vertebrate species.

Accelerated redevelopment of vocal skills is preceded by lasting reorganization of the song motor circuitry

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 denever

Complex motor skills take considerable time and practice to learn. Without continued practice the level of skill performance quickly degrades,
