As early-onset hypothyroidism produces audiogenic seizure susceptibility (AGS) in rodents, the role of TRα1 and TRβ thyroid hormone receptors in AGS was investigated. AGS occurs in mice lacking specifically TRβ (Thrb tm1/tm1) and is marked by early onset and persistence, thereby differing from mouse strains where AGS is age-restricted. Thrb tm1/tm1 mice display AGS whether on a mixed 129/Sv× C57BL/6J or congenic C57BL/6J background. 27% of wild-type mice on the mixed and 0% on the congenic background exhibited AGS. The inability of Thrb tm1/tm1 mice to downregulate the response to sustained acoustic stimulation may reside in the brain or in the auditory system itself as Thrb tm1/tm1 mice also display auditory deficits. The AGS phenotype identifies a novel neurological role for TRβ.
