Thyroid hormones and learning-associated neuroplasticity

Highlights • TH deprivation during development impairs different types of learning. • Many specific brain areas implicated in learning are TH-responsive. • Critical period learning seems to be highly TH-dependent. • Local TH activation by DIO2 may be critical in several learning processes.
