| Popis: | Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar II disorder (BD II) have significant clinical overlap, leaving the potential for diagnostic inaccuracies and inadequate treatment recommendations. However, few studies have probed for clinical and neurobiological differences between the two disorders. Clinically, some prior studies have linked BPD with greater impulsivity and more frequent negative affective shifts than BD II, whereas previous neuroimaging studies have highlighted both similar and distinct neural abnormalities in BPD and BD II. Notably, no prior study has specifically targeted cortico-limbic neural differences, which have been hypothesized to underlie these core clinical differences. Methods: Individuals with BPD (n = 14) and BD II (n = 15) completed various clinical measures and a resting state functional imaging scan at 3T. Whole-brain amygdala resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) was compared between the two groups. Results: Relative to the BD II group, BPD participants reported significantly higher levels of impulsivity, trait anxiety, more frequent negative affective shifts, greater interpersonally reactive affective instability, lower overall functioning, and were characterized by lower amygdala-middle frontal gyrus RSFC. Lower amygdala-middle frontal gyrus RSFC was associated with greater impulsivity, trait anxiety, affective shifts, interpersonal affective reactivity, and functional impairment. Limitations: The current study consisted of small sample sizes and lacked a control group. Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that amygdala-frontal RSFC may distinguish BPD from BD II. These results may guide future work aimed at identifying neural markers that can help disentangle these two disorders, leading to greater diagnostic accuracy and appropriate treatment implementation. |
