title: Association of left-handedness with ventricle size and neuropsychological performance in schizophrenia.
abstract: Left-handed schizophrenic patients showed lateral ventricular enlargement and generally poorer performance on intelligence and neuropsychological tests compared with right-handed schizophrenic patients. These results suggest that left-handed schizophrenic patients have more cerebral dysfunction than right-handed schizophrenic patients.
