Hemispheric asymmetries in schizophrenia

D B Newlin, B Carpenter, C J Golden

    Biological Psychiatry
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Schizophrenia research reveals consistent evidence for left hemisphere abnormalities, suggesting a potential structural basis for the disorder. Further investigation into these hemispheric asymmetries is warranted.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Cognitive Psychology

    Background:

    • Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder with a growing body of research exploring hemispheric asymmetries.
    • Understanding these brain differences may offer insights into the disorder's pathology and symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically review existing literature on hemispheric asymmetries in schizophrenic populations.
    • To evaluate two main theoretical viewpoints: impaired corpus callosum function and left hemisphere overactivation/dysfunction.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of studies utilizing diverse methodologies: motor, sensory, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, and structural assessments.
    • Analysis of lateral asymmetries in schizophrenic individuals.

    Main Results:

    • The hypothesis of impaired corpus callosum function remains inadequately tested due to methodological limitations, particularly the failure to demonstrate differential deficits.
    • Consistent support was found for the hypothesis of left hemisphere abnormality in schizophrenia, despite noted methodological challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Evidence suggests left hemisphere dysfunction as a key feature in schizophrenia.
    • The findings point towards a structural basis for schizophrenic pathology, aligning with observed symptomatology.
    • Further research is recommended to explore these hemispheric differences and their implications.
