Abstract
⺠We studied how individual variability in empathy is linked to brain structure. ⺠Affective empathy was linked to changes in the precuneus and anterior cingulate. ⺠Changes in the inferior frontal gyrus were also linked with affective empathy. ⺠Perspective taking was related to changes in the anterior cingulate. ⺠Personal distress was linked to changes in the somatosensory cortex and insula.
