This NIH grant supports research on how thyroid hormone regulates neurodevelopment during early life iron deficiency, investigating if reduced thyroid hormone activity in iron-deficient brains is adaptive or maladaptive.
Description
The project focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms of iron deficiency and thyroid hormone interactions during early life. The project aims to understand whether reduced thyroid hormone activity in iron-deficient brains is adaptive or maladaptive.
