“…Indeed, most studies on BPD focused on identifying altered brain activity associated with affective dysregulation (Kernberg, 1984;; Linehan, 1993), thus constraining the spatial distribution of the altered neural activity to fronto-limbic regions involved in emotional processing and regulation. Furthermore, issues related to different behavioral performance at the task at hand (Ruocco, 2005), strategies (Gvirts et al, 2015), motivation (Saunders et al, 2015), focus and sustained attention (Posner et al, 2002) could 4 contribute to intra-individual variability and reflected in changes of neural activity (Kaiser et al, 2008).…”
