Regulation of T3 Availability in the Developing Brain: The Mouse Genetics Contribution.

Sabine Richard | Frédéric Flamant
Frontiers in endocrinology | 2018

Alterations in maternal thyroid physiology may have deleterious consequences on the development of the fetal brain, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, hampering the development of appropriate therapeutic strategies. The present review sums up the contribution of genetically modified mouse models to this field. In particular, knocking out genes involved in thyroid hormone (TH) deiodination, transport, and storage has significantly improved the picture that we have of the economy of TH in the fetal brain and the underlying genetic program. These data pave the way for future studies to bridge the gap in knowledge between thyroid physiology and brain development.

Allen Human Brain Atlas: BrainSpan (Atlas of the Developing Brain) (tool)

RRID:SCR_008083

Atlas of developing human brain for studying transcriptional mechanisms involved in human brain development. Consists of RNA sequencing and exon microarray data profiling up to sixteen cortical and subcortical structures across full course of human brain development, high resolution neuroanatomical transcriptional profiles of about 300 distinct structures spanning entire brain for four midgestional prenatal specimens, in situ hybridization image data covering selected genes and brain regions in developing and adult human brain, reference atlas in full color with high resolution anatomic reference atlases of prenatal (two stages) and adult human brain along with supporting histology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data.
