Early maternal hypothyroxinemia alters histogenesis and cerebral cortex cytoarchitecture of the progeny.
Epidemiological studies from both iodine-sufficient and -deficient human populations strongly suggest that early maternal hypothyroxinemia (i.e., low circulating free thyroxine before onset of fetal thyroid function at midgestation) increases the risk of neurodevelopmental deficits of the fetus, whether or not the mother is clinically hypothyroid. Rat dams on a low iodine intake are hypothyroxi...
متن کاملMaternal hypothyroxinemia: psychoneurological deficits of progeny.
Maternal thyroid function was evaluated clinically, by reproductive history, and by serial measurements of serum butanol-extractable iodine (thyroxine-like iodine), two before and two after 24 gestational weeks during 1,349 pregnancies. Three percent of the women were hypothyroxinemic. Developmental, intellectual, and motor abilities of progeny born to (Group I) 210 euthyroxinemic, (Group II) 1...
متن کاملCytoarchitecture of the cerebral cortex - More than localization
The present paper reviews that macroanatomical landmarks are problematic for a reliable and sufficiently precise localization of clusters of activation obtained by functional imaging because sulcal and gyral patterns are extremely variable and macroanatomical landmarks do not match (in nearly all cases) architectonically defined borders. It argues that cytoarchitectonic probabilistic maps curre...
متن کاملThe cerebral cortex of the pygmy hippopotamus, Hexaprotodon liberiensis (Cetartiodactyla, Hippopotamidae): MRI, cytoarchitecture, and neuronal morphology.
The structure of the hippopotamus brain is virtually unknown because few studies have examined more than its external morphology. In view of their semiaquatic lifestyle and phylogenetic relatedness to cetaceans, the brain of hippopotamuses represents a unique opportunity for better understanding the selective pressures that have shaped the organization of the brain during the evolutionary proce...
متن کاملDoubts and Concerns about Isolated Maternal Hypothyroxinemia
There is evidence that isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia may have detrimental effects on both mother and foetus. Nonetheless, this condition is still far from being universally accepted as a separate thyroid disease, and a standard definition of this state of mild thyroid underfunction is still lacking. We will review the biochemical criteria used to define isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia, ...
