Association of left-handedness with ventricle size and neuropsychological performance in schizophrenia

J Katsanis and WG Iacono
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455.

Left-handed schizophrenic patients showed lateral ventricular enlargement and generally poorer performance on intelligence and neuropsychological tests compared with right-handed schizophrenic patients. These results suggest that left-handed schizophrenic patients have more cerebral dysfunction than right-handed schizophrenic patients.
