Cerebral asymmetry and cerebellar atrophy in schizophrenia: a controlled postmortem study
DJ Luchins, JM Morihisa, DR Weinberger and RJ Wyatt
The authors examined volumetric occipital asymmetry and evidence of
anterior vermian atrophy in the postmortem brains of 12 schizophrenic and
32 control subjects. Although they found no difference in the mean
occipital asymmetry they found that for the schizophrenic subjects abnormal
occipital asymmetry and vermian atrophy were inversely related.
