“…However, FIor-Henry outlines many other reports describing neuropathological findings (Southard 1914), CT data (Takahashi et al 1981;Uchino et al 1984), studies of cerebral blood flow (Gur et al 1985;Kurachi et al 1985), acoustic threshold studies (Bazhin, Wasserman & Tonkonogii 1975), and telemetric EEG data (Stevens et al 1979;Stevens & Livermore 1982) that indicate an association between dominant hemisphere disturbances and VHs. Thus, contrary to the assumption of Deese, there are many workers who believe that schizophrenics' cognitive deficit(s) are focally located rather than diffusely distributed.…”

“…Takahashi et al (1981), in the CT scan investigation of 257 DSM-III-diagnosed schizophrenics, found that left temporal cortical atrophy alone was associated with hallucinations. Uchino et al (1984), examining 40 schizophrenics with CT scan and correlating neuroradiological features with mental state as determined by the Present State Examination (Wing, Cooper & Sartorius 1974), observed that auditory hallucinations were related to enlargement of the left Sylvian fissure and enlargement of the left anterior horn of the lateral ventricle. Studies of regional cerebral blood flow in schizophrenia reveal increased circulation in the left hemisphere in the resting state.…”
