Abstract：
:Evidence shows that BDNF may regulate activity-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity underlying learning and memory. Previous studies reported low BDNF levels and cognitive impairment in the early stage of schizophrenia. Our current study aimed to explore the association between serum BDNF and cognitive functions in first-episode drug-naïve (FEDN) patients with schizophrenia, which has been under-investigated. We recruited 80 FEDN patients and 80 healthy controls and examined the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) and serum BDNF in both groups. Patient psychopathology was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). BDNF levels were significantly lower in patients compared to controls (p < 0.001). The RBANS total score and nearly all indexes (all p < 0.001) except for visuospatial/constructional index (p > 0.05) were significantly lower in patients than controls. No significant correlation was found between BDNF and any index or total scores of RBANS in either patients or healthy controls (all p > 0.05). However, the PANSS negative subscale score were negatively associated with both the immediate memory and language indexes (both p < 0.005). Our findings suggest that excessive cognitive impairments are present in the early stage of schizophrenia. Low BDNF may contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, but maybe not to its cognitive impairments.
