Background
Thyroid hormones are essential for development of the central nervous system and deficits in these hormones during development affects such cognitive functions as learning and memory (Ambrogini et al., 2005, Chan and Kilby, 2000). Thyroid hormones exert their physiological role mainly through binding to specific nuclear receptors including the predominant isoforms of thyroid hormone receptors TR-alpha1, TR-alpha2, TR-beta1 and TR-beta2. TR-alpha1, TR-beta1 and TR-beta2 bind T3 with high affinity and also bind to thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) on chromatin to regulate the transcriptional processes in several target tissues, including adult rat brain (Constantinou et al., 2005).Synonyms: C-erbA-alpha, EAR-7, EAR7, NR1A1, Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group A member 1, THRA1, THRA2, Thyroid hormone receptor alpha, c-erbA-1
