title: [Functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres in clinical variants of schizophrenia].
abstract: The paper is concerned with a study of lefthandedness, the distribution and combinations of characteristics in laterality according to the signs of finger linkage, folding of hands and a directing eye in 610 females and 600 males with schizophrenia. A bimanual correlation of the finger ridges were determined in 560 females and 560 males. In patients of both sexes with continuous schizophrenia there were most frequent cases of lefthandedness, a left type of finger linkage and a left directing eye. Besides, there were more males with a higher ridge on the left hand or equal ridges on both hands. The author believes that the genotypical traits on the organism which are fenotypically expressed in the abovementioned signs exert a modifying influence on the clinical features of schizophrenia.
