[Emotional behavior in schizophrenia and one-sided brain damage--expression and verbalization of emotions. Cerebral hemispheric asymmetry. Part II].

Emotional behaviour in non-chronic and chronic schizophrenic patients, right and left hemisphere-damaged patients and healthy people was observed. Similar type of emotional reactions have been recorded in schizophrenia and right hemisphere damage. This might suggest the similarity of localisation of the cerebral dysfunction in the two patient groups. The difficulties with catching verbal expressions and verbal humour might be associated with the frontal cortex dysfunction.
