MRI
Variable data regarding findings on MRI in PD is found. BPD is one of the most prevalent and commonly studied personality disorder and data regarding other types in lacking. Moreover, due to the co-occurence of other mental health conditions with PDs, it becomes difficult to ascertain the specific findings present in neuroimaging in PD. However, most of the studies reveals that changes in BPD is apparent in amygdala and limbic system in the brain. The findings in BPD on neuroimaging represent difference in volume and activity in brain structures.The first study was conducted by Lyoo et al. which compared 25 patients with BPD with age and gender-matched healthy subjects and demonstrated that individuals with BPD have smaller frontal lobe volume on brain MRI. [1]. More studies conducted by Driessen et al. and Terbartz van Elst et al. found that MRI scans in BPD were associated with smaller volumes of the hippocampus and amygdala than healthier controls (16% and 8% by Driessen et al.) and (20.5% and 24% by Terbartz van Elst et al.). The latter also revealed 24% reduction of the left orbitofrontal and a 26% reduction of the right anterior cingulate cortex in borderline personality disorder. [2]. [3]. Another study by Brambilla et al. in 2003 replicated the hippocampus changes in BPD but failed to endorse changes in amygdala. However, it showed the relation of hippocampal changes in BPD with the presence of childhood abuse or trauma. It also demonstrated the increase in putamen in case of concomitant substance abuse in BPD. [4]. Hence, studies throughout the time have endorsed the findings in hippocampus mostly and in amygdala in some cases. This is the cause of BPD or results due to symptoms of affective dysregualtion in them, remains unclear. Irle et al. in 2005 showed a new finding of reduced right parietal cortex in individuals with BPD, which may be due to neurodevelopmental deficit of right hemisphere. [5]. Functional MRI (fMRI) is another technique being used to ascertain the changes in BPD. It is a modality that measures and maps brain activity by detecting minute changes in blood flow in those regions. Lei et al. in 2017 established that fMRI in BPD manifests decreased amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the right posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and adjacent precuneus [6].
MRI imaging in antisocial PD is associated with cortical thinning in most cases. Jiang et al. study indicated that antisocial PD was associated with higher gray matter volumes in the inferior parietal lobule and white matter volumes in precuneus as compared to healthy individuals. [7]. [8]. fMRI is also useful and results in higher degree of fractional anisotropy in left lingual gyrus, bilateral precuneus, right superior frontal gyrus and right middle temporal gyrus. [7]
