Gene for left-handedness and schizophrenia
Gene for left-handedness is found — I like that they link paranoid schizophrenia to “unusual balances of brain function.”
Australian research published last year found left-handed people can think quicker when carrying out tasks such as playing computer games or playing sport.
And French researchers concluded that being left-handed could be an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, being left-handed has also been linked to a greater risk of some diseases, and to having an accident.
Five out of seven people in my department are left-handed, by the way. The right-handers feels left out. Heehee.

Imagine being a left handed schitzophrenic… but your other self is right handed… how confusing would that be?
Would be useful when you get to 100 and had to change hands I guess… but would it still be self gratification?
We’re rambling now… time for our medicine!
Your department stats bring me much joy.
Tutu, indeed!
Boo, it’s so weird.
