Implication

Analysis reveals dissociation in patients with borderline personality disorder, suggesting white matter links.

Key Points

  • Patients with borderline personality disorder frequently experience dissociative symptoms, impacting daily functioning.
  • Dissociative Experiences Scale indicated significant dissociative experiences among BPD patients compared to controls.
  • Analysis focused on the arcuate fasciculus using fractional anisotropy did not show integrity differences between groups.
  • Further structural brain research is essential to understand the relationship between white matter and dissociation.
