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.
