Abstract
Volumetric occipital asymmetry and evidence of anterior vermian atrophy were studied in the postmortem brains of 12 schizophrenic and 32 control [human] subjects. Although they found no difference in the mean occipital asymmetry they found that for the schizophrenic subjects abnormal occipital asymmetry and vermian atrophy were inversely related.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
