2009, Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition

AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the relationships between handedness, eyedness, and hand-eye dominance in patients with schizophrenia, with a focus on potential sex-related differences. Existing literature suggests discrepancies in lateralization patterns among schizophrenia patients, particularly regarding mixed-handedness and its implications. Data collected from a sample of individuals with schizophrenia and control groups reveals insights on crossed and non-crossed hand-eye dominance, highlighting further the intricate dynamics of lateralization abnormalities in psychiatric conditions. Implications for understanding the neuropsychological aspects of schizophrenia are discussed, along with future research directions.
