Low BDNF is associated with cognitive impairment in chronic patients with schizophrenia.

abstract：RATIONALE:Second-generation antipsychotics occupy dopamine D2 receptors and act as antagonists or partial agonists at these receptors. While these drugs alleviate positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, they are less effective for treating cognitive deficits and negative symptoms. Dopamine D3 receptors are hi...
