Prenatal exposure to valproic acid increases miR-132 levels in the mouse embryonic brain

Abstract Background MicroRNAs, small non-coding RNAs, are highly expressed in the mammalian brain, and the dysregulation of microRNA levels may be involved in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
