In rodents, it has been shown that persistent organic pollutants (POPs), particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), interfere with TH signaling. These pollutants are widespread in the marine environment and biomagnify in marine mammals to very high levels. Brominated flame-retardants have also recently been shown to interfere with the TH system in experimental animals.</p> <p><a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/content/anatomy-three-dimensional-reconstructions-and-volume-estimation-brain-atlantic-white-sided-d" target="_blank">read more</a></p> anatomy Atlantic atlantic white sided dolphin Atlantic white-sided dolphin beluga whale biomagnify bottlenose dolphin brain brain chemical brain hippocampus brain size brain volume central nervous system cerebellum cerebral cortex chemical data common dolphin dolphin Environment estimation Flame retardants Harbour Porpoise hippocampus Imaging internal brain Lagenorhynchus acutus magnetic resonance images magnetic resonance imaging marine mammals MRI necropsy procedure neuroanatomy Neurology odontocetes Persistent organic pollutants Polychlorinated biphenyl resonance thyroid thyroid hormone thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals thyroid hormones volume volume estimation white sided dolphin Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:55:31 +0000 52 at http://csi.whoi.edu
