Electro-enccphalographic (E.E.G.) pattern of 35 drug free schizophrenic patients was studied. 15 cases (42.86%) had abnormal EEG records, 9 records out of 15 abnormal records showed effect of laterality. Laterality of abnormality to left hemisphers was present in 7 cases while laterality to right hemisphere was present only in 2 cases. Cortical locations of abnormalities were also studied. The most common cortical area found to be involved was temporal lobe.

متن کاملA Study of Cerebral Dominance by Laterality Score and Order of Reporting in Dichotic Listening Test
The Dichotic listening test was performed on 8 schizophrenics and 8 normal healthy controls. A positive correlation between laterality score and shift of order of reporting from one hemisphere to other was found in light handed scliizophrenics during active stage of the disease. Order of reporting alone may be a factor responsible for this shift of laterality in these patients. Further, on foll...

This atypical laterality pattern is observed significantly more often in schizophrenia patients than in the general population, which led several authors to conclude that there is a genetic link between laterality and schizophreni...

Brain laterality in schizophrenia has been examined through the application of functional neuroimaging methods. These methods have included the 133Xenon technique for measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF); positron emission tomography for assessing rates of glucose metabolism, CBF, and neuroreceptor functioning; single photon emission computerized tomography for studying CBF and neuroreceptors; a...
