Previous studies have explored the neural bases of forgiveness, however, the neural associations of decisional and emotional forgiveness remain unclear. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional connectivity (FC) measured by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were used to investigate the neural associations of individual differences in decisional and emotional forgiveness among healthy volunteers (256 participants, 85 males). The results of the ReHo analysis showed that decisional forgiveness was positively correlated with the left inferior parietal lobule (IPL). Furthermore, emotional forgiveness was positively correlated with the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and left supramarginal gyrus (SMG). The results of the FC analysis showed that decisional forgiveness was positively associated with the FC strength between the left IPL and left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) and negatively correlated with the FC strength among the left IPL, right superior temporal gyrus (STG), and left SMG. Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between emotional forgiveness and FC strength between the left SMG and right IPL. These findings suggest an association between decisional and emotional forgiveness and spontaneous brain activity in brain regions related to empathy, emotion regulation, and cognitive control.

先前的研究已经探索了宽恕的神经基础，然而，决策宽恕和情感宽恕的神经关联仍不清楚。通过静息态功能磁共振成像 (fMRI) 测量的区域同质性 (ReHo) 和功能连接性 (FC) 用于研究健康志愿者（256 名参与者，85 名男性）决策和情感宽恕个体差异的神经关联。ReHo分析结果显示，决策宽恕与左顶下小叶（IPL）呈正相关。此外，情绪宽恕与背侧前扣带皮层（dACC）和左侧边缘上回（SMG）呈正相关。FC分析结果表明，决策宽恕与左侧IPL和左侧额中回（MFG）之间的FC强度呈正相关，与左侧IPL、右侧颞上回（STG）和左侧颞上回（STG）之间的FC强度呈负相关。离开了SMG。此外，左侧 SMG 和右侧 IPL 之间的情感宽恕与 FC 强度之间存在显着正相关。这些发现表明，决策和情感宽恕与同理心、情绪调节和认知控制相关的大脑区域的自发大脑活动之间存在关联。
