The IC response to pure tones of 1–32 kHz and 0–75 dB were unaltered in VPA-exposed rats. A Bar plots showing the average number of spikes across tone frequency binned in 1 octave bins. The error bars are the standard error of the mean across rats. There were no significant differences in the response strength comparing saline-exposed rats to VPA-exposed rats across frequency bins. B Rate-intensity function comparing the number of spikes evoked per tone based on sound intensity. The error bars represent the standard error of the mean across rats. For both groups, as the sound intensity increased, there was an increase in the number of evoked spikes. However, no significant differences were found between groups across each intensity
