However, in Recent years especially, MRI & PET studies have revealed specific neurochemical abnormalties in the brains of borderline-personality sufferers.

  1. Increased Dopamine D(2) Receptors and / or Congenital Polymorphisms in DRD2S Genes. (1) (2). Evidenced also by Abilify-sensitive treatment of individuals with BPD..
  2. Increased Serotonin 5-HT(2)A Receptors/Signaling. [3] [4]
  3. Decreased NMDA Receptors/Function .:. This leads to the Cognitive Dysfunction in B.P.D & the chronic dissociative states during periods of intense Stress. It also is related differences in pain perception and sensory perception in general experienced by those with BPD. | 5 | 
  4. ANKK1 or PKK2 mutant gene / A1+ Allele. Genetically transferred, congenital abnormalty, not present in all subjects. / 6 \   / 7 \
