Robin M. Murray, +1 more
- 19 Sep 1987 - 
TL;DR: Much research implicates the left rather than the right cerebral hemisphere in schizophrenia, and there is evidence that schizophrenics are more likely to be left handed than controls, and the normal development of lateralised cerebral dominance can be disrupted by premature birth with a resultant increase in left handedness.
