Abstract
As a part of a biological analysis of adaptative functions in schizophrenia, a study was made of the differences in skin temperature between the right and left sides in nine symmetrically located areas on the body surface of twenty normal and twenty schizophrenic individuals. Seven readings were made on each point at 30-minute intervals with the environmental temperature held at 24°C. and the relative humidity at 20%. It was found that:Keywords
