Abstract: (288 Views) |
Background and Aim: Borderline personality disorder is associated with cognitive and emotional difficulties. This study aimed to compare the cognitive and emotional functions of individuals with borderline personality disorder with those of healthy individuals.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, 30 people participated, 15 of whom were borderline and 15 were healthy. In late 2024, EEG was recorded from these people at the National Brain Mapping Center of the University of Tehran using a QEEG device for 7 minutes and 15 seconds in a resting state with eyes closed, and 3 minutes without artifacts were selected for analysis with Neuroguide software. The Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to analyze the data and compare the groups.
Results: The results indicated that individuals with borderline personality disorder performed worse than healthy individuals across all cognitive and emotional functions, including reward addiction, anxiety, sustained attention, ventral attention, executive function, default mode, mood, language, memory, mirror neurons, pain, and salient attention (P<0/05).
Conclusion: Individuals with borderline personality disorder exhibit lower cognitive and emotional functioning, and it appears that various brain networks have a domino effect on one another. |
