The Role of the Endocrine Glands in Mammalian Brain Development

  • Chapter
Book cover Chemistry and Brain Development

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 13))

Abstract

The influence of the thyroid on the development of the brain and, indeed, on that of the whole animal, is far greater than that of any other hormone. Hence, this chapter will be concerned mainly with the influence of the thyroid on brain development. The effects of other hormones on brain development will only be considered briefly.
