In a manner similar to that proposed in electrophysiological research 37 , the priming activity of T 3 may trigger lasting changes in synapses to express plasticity in chicks' imprinting, and there may be significant modulation in the structure of dendritic spines as a result of priming.

Thyroid hormone determines the start of the sensitive period of imprinting and primes later learning.
