  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A lack of thyroid hormone (T4) during early postnatal life produces a delay or arrest of cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation in the brain, and reduced myelination. Likewise, growth hormone (GH) deficiency also impairs cell migration and oligodendroglial differentiation, which subsequent failure of myelination. Both of the above findings appear to act via a similar mechanism, a thyroid-pituitary linkage. Neonatal thyroid dysfunction produces a striking alteration of the pituitary gland, characterized mainly by degradation of eosinophilic cells, which appear to synthesize or store GH. For this reason, the effect of GH on brain growth in neonatally thyroidectomized animals has been intensively studied, but the results are still controversial and inconclusive.
