Abstract
Numerous studies over the past several years have examined brain morphology of schizophrenics using a variety of techniques including pneumoencephalography and computed tomography (CT) [1–2]. The most widely reported finding has been the dilatation of the brain ventricles in schizophrenia [2]. Over the last decade there has been increasing interest in the Corpus Callosum (CC) generated both from post-mortem reported CC abnormalities [3–4] and from evidence of defective interhemispheric functioning [5–6–7–8].
