Schizophrenia as an Anomaly of Cerebral Asymmetry

Science progresses by the formulation and elimination of hypotheses. This article attempts to provide an explanation for the structural changes that are present in the brain in schizophrenia and draws attention to what appears to be emerging as a consistent finding – that these changes are asymmetrical. On the basis of this finding an hypothesis is formulated that relates these changes to an evolutionary framework.
