    Electroencephalography (EEG) synchrony changes during cognitive tasks, decreasing in schizophrenic patients and left-handers. This suggests less lateralized brain organization in schizophrenia, potentially linked to impaired corpus callosum function and disturbed thought processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Science
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Interhemispheric EEG synchrony varies between rest and cognitive states.
    • Previous research indicates differing EEG patterns in healthy individuals and patient groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate changes in EEG synchrony during visual imagery.
    • To explore the relationship between EEG synchrony, handedness, and schizophrenia.
    • To examine potential links to brain lateralization and corpus callosum function.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized common reference electroencephalography (EEG) recording.
    • Employed a visual imagery task to elicit cognitive activity.
    • Compared EEG synchrony patterns in healthy right-handers, healthy left-handers, neurotic patients, and schizophrenic patients.

    Main Results:

    • EEG synchrony increased in healthy right-handers and neurotic patients during the task.
    • EEG synchrony decreased in healthy left-handers and schizophrenic patients during the task.
    • Observed decreased synchrony in schizophrenia suggests reduced brain lateralization.

    Conclusions:

    • Schizophrenia may be characterized by less lateralized brain organization.
    • This reduced lateralization might explain the association with left-handedness in schizophrenia.
    • Impaired corpus callosum transmission could contribute to schizophrenic symptoms.
