Across the bipolar – II (BP – II) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) groups, decreased right (R) amygdala – right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) was associated with increased impulsivity (IVE Impulsiveness-- Impulsivity Venturesomeness), trait anxiety (STAI-2, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), affective shifts (ALI – Frequency, Affective Liability Interview), and interpersonal affective reactivity (ALI – Reactivity), but decreased global assessment of functioning (GAF). Additionally, decreased right (R) amygdala – left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) was linked to higher interpersonally affective reactivity (ALI – Reactivity).
