Regions associated with empathy, as informed by lesion and fMRI studies. Feelings of guilt and compassion are strongly associated with typical functioning of the subgenual/septal region and ventromedial frontal cortex. Longer-term emotions, such as processing long-term consequences and conceptualizing quality of social behavior, activate the frontopolar cortex and the right superior anterior temporal lobe.
