In this study, we found that adolescent resting state functional brain networks contains a subnetwork significantly related to self-reported prosocial behavior and compassion. The subnetwork regions indicated connects many previously identified brain regions associated with prosocial behavioral tasks in adolescents, including the bilateral precuneus, left lateral prefrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, inferior frontal gyri, temporal poles, left amygdala, right posterior cingulate cortex, occipital cortex, left supplementary motor area, and cerebellum.
