## 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
