Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been found to play a crucial role in the neuroplasticity of predominantly cholinergic neurons in brain development, and neuronal survival following brain injury, which reflect in cognitive performance.

We report plasma NGF levels in never-medicated first-episode psychotic (FEP; N=24) and chronic medicated schizophrenic patients (N… Expand
