The data suggest that BPD is associated with small amygdala size, and evidence is increasing that amygdala and hippocampus size reduction is not only due to PTSD, but also to traumatic exposure.
The Association of PTSD Symptom Severity With Localized Hippocampus and Amygdala Abnormalities

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is used to examine the relationship between PTSD symptomatology, as measured using the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for the DSM-IV, and structural shape of the hippocampus and amygdala and provides evidence of localized abnormalities in the anterior hippocampus and centromedial amygdala in combat-exposed U.S. Veterans suffering from PTSD symptoms.

Mixed-effects meta-analyses suggest that trauma type may moderate hippocampal volume in trauma-exposed individuals but not in those with PTSD.

Hippocampal volumes were significantly smaller in the PTSD group compared to the control group, but gender did not significantly moderate any effect sizes in the meta‐regression or subgroup analyses, which suggests that hippocampal volume deficits in PTSD are independent of gender.

Evidence is provided that smaller hippocampal size in trauma-exposed individuals is a result of traumatic stress, and the posttraumatic application of NMDA antagonists may protect against hippocampal damage induced by traumatic stressors but increases the patient's risk of developing PTSD symptoms.

Volume differences are consistent with the notion that exposure to stressful experiences can lead to hippocampal atrophy, although prospective studies would be necessary to unambiguously establish such a relationship.
