Hashimoto's thyroiditis induces hippocampus-dependent cognitive alterations by impairing astrocytes in euthyroid mice.

CONCLUSION: HT can induce damage of LTP in hippocampal Schaffer collateral-CA1 pathway in the euthyroid state and this can be attributed, at least partly, to astrocytes impairment, which may underlie the deleterious effects of HT itself on hippocampal-dependent learning and memory function.
