  The deficits in empathy, emotional insensitivity, and decision-making constitute the core of symptoms defining conduct disorder. Although several studies have established some correlates between brain connectivity and symptoms separately, there has been little effort to systematize such information. The current systematic review aimed to describe the findings obtained through analyzing brain connectivity networks by functional magnetic resonance imaging associated with alterations in empathy, emotional insensitivity, and decision-making in subjects with conduct disorder. A systematic search was carried out for original studies published in Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Nature. Articles published between 2000 and 2022 were included; a qualitative synthesis was obtained with the six selected articles at the end of the process. The findings show altered brain connectivity patterns in brain regions associated with empathy and insensitivity in subjects with conduct disorder.

  Déficits de empatia, insensibilidade emocional e tomada de decisão fazem parte dos sintomas cognitivospresentes no transtorno de conduta. Embora existam estudos que estabeleçam algumas correlações entrea conectividade cerebral, o esforço para sistematizar essas informações não tem sido suficiente. O objetivo dapresente revisão foi descrever os achados obtidos através da análise de redes de conectividade cerebral por meiode ressonância magnética funcional em repouso associados a alterações na empatia, insensibilidade emocionale tomada de decisão em sujeitos com transtorno de conduta. Foi realizada uma busca sistemática de estudosoriginais publicados no Medline (PubMed), Scopus, scielo, Google Scholar, Scopus e Nature. Foram incluídosartigos publicados entre 2000 e 2023; Ao final do processo obteve-se uma síntese qualitativa com os 6 artigosselecionados. Os resultados obtidos mostram padrões alterados de conectividade cerebral em regiões cerebraisassociadas a processos de empatia e insensibilidade em indivíduos com transtorno de conduta; não foramencontrados estudos relacionados à tomada de decisão
