## Abstract Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of function in different neuronal populations. BDNF is strongly expressed in hypothalamic neurons, where it exerts long‐ or short‐lasting actions. Bec

## 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
The expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase B are both increased after global ischemia. Therefore, a protective action of BDNF against the delayed degeneration of vulnerable neurons has been suggested. We have investigated the neuroprotective action of
## Abstract The deposition of amyloid‐β (Aβ) contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Even at low levels, Aβ may interfere with various signaling cascades critical for the synaptic plasticity that underlies learning and memory. Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is well known t
