Abstract
Support for the many relationships between thyroid hormones and brain function comes from both laboratory and clinical studies. Studies in laboratory animals provide convincing evidence for a neuroregulatory role of thyroid hormones in the brain, suggesting that they may affect behavior. This notion is supported by human studies which have revealed that the effects of thyroid hormones on brain function are most important during the development and maturation of the brain; thereafter, age does not seem to critically affect brain-thyroid hormone relationships.Entities:
