Prenatal exposure to VPA causes a decrease in brain volume and an increased BLA size. A. Representative images of cresylviolet stained brain slices of saline- and VPA-exposed animals. Black dotted lines represent the surface area of the BLA. B. Quantification of the surface area of the hemispheres of saline-(white bars) and VPA-(black bars) exposed rats shows a significant decrease in the surface area of the brain of VPA-exposed animals. C. Graph representing the quantification of the BLA size in saline- and VPA-exposed rats. D. Ratio of the BLA size corrected for hemisphere surface area. Data are shown as mean ± SEM; p-values were determined by Student’s t-test *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01.
