The "grasping reflex" test was performed in adult rats with altered thyroid function. Any modification of the thyroid activity (hyper or hypothyroidism) caused a prolongation of the grasping time. Our data indicate that the condition of hypo or hyperthyroidism induces behavioural modifications in the adult rats.
