Abstract
Based on evidence from patients with epilepsy who develop a schizophrenia-like illness, it is argued that the first-rank symptoms of Schneider are closely related to temporal lobe pathology, particularly in the dominant hemisphere. It is suggested that the first-rank symptoms should be seen as signifiers of temporal lobe pathology, as opposed to being pathognomonic for schizophrenic illness.
