Abstract

Background Several functional neuroimaging studies have reported regionally abnormal activation of the frontal cortex in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) during cognitive and affective task performance. However, little is known about neural function in individuals with BPD during the resting state. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this study investigated the functional connectivity of prefrontal and limbic networks in patients with BPD. Methods Between January 2009 and March 2010, we investigated patients with BPD according to DSM-IV criteria and healthy controls by means of resting-state fMRI. The data were analyzed using a spatial group independent component analysis, and random effects t tests were used to compare spatial components between groups (p Results There were 17 women with BPD and 17 female healthy controls enrolled in this study. Within a network comprising cortical midline regions ("default mode network"), patients with BPD showed an increase in functional connectivity in the left frontopolar cortex (FPC) and the left insula, whereas decreased connectivity was found in the left cuneus. Within a network comprising predominantly right lateral prefrontal and bilateral parietal regions, patients with BPD showed decreased connectivity of the left inferior parietal lobule and the right middle temporal cortex compared with healthy controls. Two networks comprising lateral prefrontal and cingulate regions did not exhibit signifi…

  • The two RS-fMRI studies [130•, 134] provide primary evidence for a possible role of dissociation in altered RSFC in BPD.

    “The two RS-fMRI studies described above [130•, 134] provide primary evidence for a possible role of dissociation in altered RSFC in BPD.”
  • In Wolf et al. (2011), state dissociation (DSS) positively predicted RSFC in the insula and precuneus in the BPD group.

    “In the BPD group, state dissociation (DSS) positively predicted RSFC in the insula and precuneus [134]—as previously mentioned, these regions play a role in interoceptive awareness and self- referential processes [74].”
  • Wolf et al. (2011) found that within the DMN, BPD patients showed increased RSFC in the left frontopolar cortex and insula, and decreased RSFC in the left cuneus; within a fronto-parietal network, patients exhibited decreased RSFC in the left inferior parietal lobule and right middle temporal cortex, with no significant group differences in two other networks.

    “Within the DMN, patients showed increased RSFC in the left frontopolar cortex and insula, while showing decreased RSFC in the left cuneus. Within a fronto-parietal network, patients exhibited decreased RSFC in the left inferior parietal lobule and the right middle temporal cortex compared to HCs. No significant group differences were observed in two other networks comprising lateral prefrontal and”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
