Single prenatal exposure to valproic acid (VPA) in rodents is a widely used preclinical model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Continuous prenatal VPA exposure has been recently proposed as a new ASD model that closely captures the neuropathological features of ASD, including increases in cerebral cortex volume and the number of cortical upper layer neurons. We investigated the influence of prenatal VPA exposure on the behavior of adult offspring of pregnant dams that received intraperitoneal injections of VPA twice on one day during the genesis of cortical upper layer neurons. Mice exposed to VPA at E14 (E14-VPA) showed typical behavior abnormalities including reduced social interaction, hyperactivity, and poor maze learning due to attention deficit/impulsivity relative to healthy controls. Histological analysis revealed that E14-VPA mice had significantly increased neuronal density and impaired neural activity in the prefrontal cortex, but not the somatosensory area, which is likely linked to the observed abnormalities in social behavior. These results suggest that this VPA exposure method is a good model for gaining new insights into the underlying neuropathology of ASD.
