Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in the development and function of the central nervous system, with significant implications for both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Disruptions in thyroid hormone signaling have been linked to a range of conditions, including cognitive impairments, mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Recent advances in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms influenced by thyroid hormones offer new insights into their role in these disorders and open avenues for therapeutic interventions.
As an expert in the field with extensive experience in studying thyroid hormone effects on the brain, I am honored to serve as the editor of this Special Issue. My research has focused on the intersection of endocrinology and neuroscience, particularly on the impact of thyroid hormones on neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative processes. I invite you to contribute your latest findings to this Special Issue, which aim to advance our understanding of the intricate relationships between thyroid hormones and brain health.
Dr. Janaína Sena de Souza
Guest Editor
