Highlights • Low peer preference was linked to higher brain activation during early social exclusion experiences.• Activation was found in an area implicated in emotion regulation and attentional control.• Results suggest that low peer preferred boys become sensitive to social exclusion.• Low peer preference seems to become embodied in children’s neurobiology.
