AB  - Conflict is a ubiquitous feature of interpersonal relationships, yet many of 
      these relationships preserve their value following conflict. Our ability to 
      refrain from punishment despite the occurrence of conflict is a characteristic of 
      human beings. Using a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, we 
      show that prosocial decision-making is modulated by relationship closeness. In an 
      iterated social exchange, participants were more likely to cooperate with their 
      partner compared to an unknown person by accepting unfair exchanges. Importantly, 
      this effect was not influenced by how resources were actually being shared with 
      one's partner. The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) was activated when the 
      partner, rather than the unknown person, behaved unfairly and, in the same 
      context, the MPFC demonstrated greater functional connectivity with the dorsal 
      anterior cingulate cortex (DACC). MPFC-DACC connectivity was inversely associated 
      with participants' tendency to "forgive" their partner for unfairness as well as 
      performance outside the scanner on a behavioral measure of forgiveness. We 
      conclude that relationship closeness modulates a neural network comprising the 
      MPFC/DACC during economic exchanges.
