Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone deficiency during early developmental stages causes a multitude of functional and morphological deficits in the brain. In the present study we investigate the effects of a mutated thyroid hormone receptor TR alpha 1 and the resulting receptor-mediated hypothyroidism on the development of GABAergic neurotransmission and seizure susceptibility of neuronal networks. We show that mutant mice have a...
