Abstract

Highlights: [•] Exposure of valproic acid to cultured cortical neurons decreased VGAT expression. [•] The reduction of VGAT by valproic acid was through its HDAC inhibition activity. [•] Valproic acid suppressed the formation of inhibitory synapses. [•] Valproic acid may disturb the brain development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
