Memory Consolidation Thyroid

Meaning

Memory Consolidation Thyroid refers to the essential and direct regulatory role played by thyroid hormones, predominantly T3, in the neurobiological process of stabilizing a newly formed memory trace into a long-term, durable, and stable form. Optimal thyroid function is absolutely necessary for the underlying cellular mechanisms, including synaptic plasticity and precise gene expression, that support the necessary structural changes for memory storage in the hippocampus and associated cortical regions. Any deficiency can significantly impair the critical transition from short-term to stable long-term memories.
