Abstrakt: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by increased mood reactivity and affective instability. Since core structures involved in emotion processing, such as the amygdala, demonstrate strong lateralization, BPD is an interesting target for laterality research. So far, a systematic integration of findings on lateralization in BPD is missing. Therefore, we systematically reviewed studies published until February 2024 in PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases that measured hemispheric asymmetries and behavioral lateralization in patients with BPD. Inclusion criteria were (a) diagnosis of BPD and (b) results on hemispheric or behavioral asymmetries. Specifically for neuroimaging studies, hemispheres need to be assessed separately. Review articles and studies with disorders other than BPD were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale for non-randomized, non-comparative intervention studies. A total of 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirteen studies investigated structural hemispheric asymmetries, five functional hemispheric asymmetries, two examined handedness, and one studied hemispheric asymmetry in visuospatial attention. Overall, studies examining structural asymmetries in BPD report bilateral volume reduction in the amygdala and hippocampus but a right-sided reduction in the orbitofrontal cortex. For functional lateralization, asymmetrical de/activation patterns in the default mode network in BPD and reduced right-frontal asymmetry were evident. Also, studies indicate a trend towards increased non-right-handedness in BPD. Risk factors for BPD, such as childhood abuse, may play a crucial role in the development of structural and functional alterations. However, the generalization of results may be limited by small sample sizes and varying study designs.
