title: Regional thyroid hormone levels in rat brain.
abstract: Levels of T4 and T3 were measured in half-brain and seven brain regions. Although thyroid hormones were distributed throughout the brain, T4 levels were highest in cerebellum and thalamus. The highest T3 levels were observed in the thalamus and lowest levels were found in olfactory bulb, hypothalamus, and amygdala.
