Sevoflurane exposure during the neonatal period induces long‐term memory impairment but not autism‐like behaviors

ConclusionsOur results confirm previous studies that neonatal sevoflurane exposure causes neurodegeneration and long‐term memory impairment in mice. However, sevoflurane did not induce autism‐like features. Our study suggests that mice are more vulnerable to long‐term memory deficits than autism‐like behaviors after exposure to sevoflurane.
