Model for the mechanism of thyroid hormone-induced DA neuron differentiation. During embryonic VM NSC differentiation, thyroid hormone-TRα1 upregulates Otx2 expression and enhances the expression of Ngn2 and Nurr1 through Otx2. The upregulation of these three DA determinants finally leads to DA neuron differentiation and enhanced the expression of TH and DAT.
