  • Title: [Interhemispheric relations in the process of visual perception in schizophrenic patients].
    Author: Shostakovich GS.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1978; 78(5):715-20. PubMed ID: 665068.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the performed study was to compare the time of visual stimuli perception for different hemispheres in normals and in schizophrenic patients. In normals there was a certain asymmetry in the speed of perception of letter stimuli between the right and left hemispheres. It was established, that in the right hemisphere there was a more rapid perception of the letters as compared to the left one. In schizophrenic patients there is no interhemispheric differences in the time of perception, owing to the fact that the right hemisphere loses the advantage in speed of processing visual information. The author makes an assumption of the possible role of disturbed activity of the right hemisphere in the psychopathological symptomatology.
