Structural correlates of auditory verbal hallucinations in patients with borderline personality disorder

Key Points

Auditory verbal hallucinations are associated with specific brain structures in borderline personality disorder, indicating neural underpinnings.
The research indicates significant involvement of sensorimotor and executive networks in patients experiencing auditory verbal hallucinations.
Analysis highlights similarities between borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia regarding brain structure patterns related to hallucinations.
These findings may guide future therapeutic strategies and deepen understanding of transdiagnostic neural mechanisms.

Abstract

These findings reveal structural correlates of AVH in BPD, implicating sensorimotor, executive, and affective networks. The overlap with SZ-associated cortical patterns suggests transdiagnostic neural mechanisms and shared pathophysiological substrates of AVH.
