2021 December 17 An article reviews neurobiological changes in borderline personality disorder (BPD) after DBT. BPD is linked to abnormalities in the amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and hippocampus, associated with emotional dysregulation. DBT, a leading therapy for BPD, shows significant neurobiological changes post-treatment. Nine studies reveal decreased activity in the amygdala and ACC, and altered activity in the inferior frontal gyrus and prefrontal cortex, linked to improved emotional and inhibitory control. The findings highlight the potential of neuroimaging to understand DBT’s effectiveness, suggesting further research to clarify DBT’s biological impact and optimize treatment.[7]
