Neuroimaging studies reveal significant disruptions in the prefrontal-amygdala circuitry and default mode network in BPD.
Machine learning models demonstrate a classification accuracy of 70-88%, aiding in treatment response tracking.
Longitudinal studies suggest psychodynamic therapy may normalize brain activity and reduce symptoms like alexithymia.
