Although neurotrophins are critical for neuronal survival and differentiation, recent studies suggest that they also regulate synaptic plasticity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) rapidly increases synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons, and enhances long-term potentiation (LTP), a cel

## Abstract We studied two genetic polymorphisms (240C/T and 480G/A) of the brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene in Japanese patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD, n = 172), Parkinson's disease (PD, n = 327), and multiple system atrophy (MSA, n = 122), as well as controls (n = 275). The di
## Abstract The neurotrophin brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin‐3 (NT‐3) and their cognate receptors, trkB and trkC, have a variety of physiological brain functions, ranging from cell survival to mechanisms involved in learning and memory and long‐term potentiation (LTP). LTP
## Abstract The effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1 on expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high‐affinity receptor, TrkB, in neurons cultured from the cerebral cortex of 18‐day‐old embryonic rats were examined. BDNF mRNA was significantly increased from 24–48 hr
