Brain Function
Research shows that people with Borderline Personality Disorder may have structural and functional differences in their brains, especially in the areas that control impulses and emotion regulation. Studies have shown that the part of the brain that puts the brakes on emotions is underactive in some people with BPD. However, the studies do not demonstrate whether these changes were risk factors for the illness or if such changes were caused by the disorder.
