We were honored to have Randy Stout from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine as our guest at the online October 2024 LOCOTACT Lecture. He presented “New methods and imaging tools to test for a reciprocal relationship between thyroid hormone distribution and gap junction connectivity in the brain”. Creating novel in vitro and in vivo T3 reporter models he investigates the role gap junctions as an alternative way of TH transport within the brain particularly in astrocytes.

We would like to thank the speaker for accepting our invitation, for giving an inspiring talk and for the lively discussion.
