Salience and default networks predict borderline personality traits and affective symptoms: a dynamic functional connectivity analysis by Alessandro Grecucci, Miriam Langerbeck, Richard Bakiaj, Parisa Ahmadi Ghomroudi, Davide Rivolta, Xiaoping Yi, Xiaoping Yi, Xiaoping Yi, Irene Messina, Irene Messina

“…We expect to find abnormal connectivity inside the DMN, the SN and in regions ascribed to mentalization processes associated with BPT. We also expect these networks to be associated with psychological symptoms experienced by borderline patients such as impulsivity and anger issues, as well as lack of self-control and neuroticism among others.MethodAn unsupervised machine learning method known as Group-ICA, was applied to resting state fMRI images of 200 individuals to predict BPT from the temporal variability of independent macro networks.ResultsResults indicated abnormal dynamic functional connectivity inside the SN including areas implicated in emotional reactivity and sensitivity, and in a network that partially overlaps with the DMN, including regions involved in social cognition and mind reading. …”
