Generalizable links between symptoms of borderline personality disorder and functional connectivity.

ABSTRACT:

Background |

Symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) often manifest in adolescence, yet the underlying relationship between these debilitating symptoms and the development of functional brain networks is not well understood. Here we aimed to investigate how multivariate patterns of functional connectivity are associated with symptoms of BPD in a large sample of young adults and adolescents.
