Abnormal Enteric Nervous System Organization and Gastrointestinal Motility in Mice With Valproic Acid‐Induced Neural Tube Defects

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
Gastrointestinal tracts from fetuses with a valproic acid‐induced neural tube defect contain blood. Structurally, the enteric neuronal stripes are thinner with a narrower interstripe distance, leading to an increased number of stripes. Functionally, gastrointestinal motility is abnormal, with increased contraction frequency and increased length of ...
