    Schizophrenia patients show deficits in tasks requiring interhemisphere interaction, not selective left hemisphere impairment. This suggests a breakdown in communication between brain hemispheres in schizophrenia.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Cognitive Psychology

    Background:

    • Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder.
    • Previous research has explored hemispheric organization in schizophrenia.
    • Two main hypotheses exist regarding functional hemispheric organization in schizophrenic patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate two hypotheses on functional hemispheric organization in schizophrenia.
    • To examine tactile-visual matching and intermanual/intramanal matching in schizophrenic patients and controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments were conducted with chronic schizophrenics and normal controls.
    • Experiment 1: Tactile-visual matching with each hand.
    • Experiment 2: Intermanual and intramanual matching of nonmeaningful shapes.

    Main Results:

    • Schizophrenics performed worse than controls in tactile-visual matching but showed no hand difference.
    • Schizophrenics exhibited significantly inferior intermanual matching compared to controls.
    • No group differences were found in intramanual matching.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings do not support a selective left hemisphere impairment hypothesis in schizophrenia.
    • Results suggest a potential deficit in interhemisphere interaction in schizophrenic patients.
    • Further research is needed to understand the neural basis of these deficits.
