title: [The role of disturbances of the interhemispheric coordination in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia].
abstract: In the opinion of some authors, the independent functioning of cerebral hemispheres may underlie schizophrenia. In the following study results of neuropsychological tests, similar to those obtained in split-brain patients, are presented. As a consequence of the early disturbance of interhemispheric coordination, anomalies of lateralisation of functions in schizophrenia are proven. Results of morphological examinations are presented, relating to structures responsible for interhemispheric transfer, including those in lower brain levels. Hypotheses indicating dysfunctions of those structures (especially of the pons) would explain many (not only dissociative) symptoms of schizophrenia.
