Folic Acid Fortification Prevents Morphological and Behavioral Consequences of X-Ray Exposure During Neurulation

Previous studies suggested a causal link between pre-natal exposure to ionizing radiation and birth defects such as microphthalmos and exencephaly. In mice, these defects arise primarily after high-dose X-irradiation during early neurulation. However, the impact of sublethal (low) X-ray doses during...
