k Schizophrenia. Positron emission tomography PET scan series of the brain of an hallucinating patient suffering from schizophrenia. The colour coded scan through different cerebral layers shows brain activity from low blue to high yellow. PET scanning relies on an injected radioactive tracer to show metabolic activity in the brain. Normal brain metabolic activity produces a roughly symmetrical pattern in the yellow areas of left and right cerebral hemispheres. PET scanning shows abnormalities of function in the brains of schizo phrenics. Schizophrenia split personality is characterised by delusions, hallucination and depression.
