Core Tip	The lack of diagnostic and treatment markers is one of the most important problems in clinical practice. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been proposed as a biomarker of schizophrenia and, more specifically, as a biomarker of cognitive recovery. Evidence collected in this review indicates that there is evidence suggesting that serum BDNF levels are involved in some synaptic plasticity processes. Additionally, serum BDNF levels significantly increased in schizophrenia subjects after neuroplasticity-based cognitive training. All in all, the current consideration of BDNF as a biomarker of cognitive recovery in schizophrenia is promising but still premature.
