Abstract in brief

The study analyzed large-scale neuroimaging data to identify brain regions involved in various social interactions, finding consistent engagement of networks related to social cognition, motivation, and cognitive control.
Key brain networks identified include the default mode network, salience network, subcortical network, and central executive network, each linked to specific social processes such as understanding others, prioritizing social cues, and managing social behavior.
The results suggest an integrated framework where social interactions are supported by interconnected brain networks, emphasizing the importance of both individual processes and their network integration in social functioning.
