Genetic polymorphisms of BDNF on cognitive functions in drug-naive first episode patients with schizophrenia

Abstract Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is reported to be involved in cognitive decline in patients with schizophrenia (SZ). Previous studies have found that cognitive deficits remain stable during the chronic disease phase in SZ, but the findings were inconsistent. The role of BDNF in cog...
