The brain has an extraordinary ability to functionally and physically change or reconfigure its
structure in response to environmental stimulus, cognitive demand, or behavioral …

This chapter provides a contemporary snapshot of the literature on multilingualism‐induced
changes in the brain, including theoretical suggestions about the origin and the nature of …

Research on the effects of bi-and multi-lingualism on brain structure has so far yielded
variable patterns. Although it cannot be disputed that learning and using additional …

Learning and using an additional language is shown to have an impact on the structure and
function of the brain, including in regions involved in cognitive control and the connections …

Bilingualism has been linked to structural adaptations of subcortical brain regions that are
important for controlling multiple languages. However, research on the location and extent of …

Language development has been correlated with specific changes in brain development.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the linguistic‐brain associations that occur from birth …

Understanding the neural representation and control of language in normal bilingual
speakers provides insights into the factors that constrain the acquisition of another …

Abstract Language has the power to shape cognition, behavior, and even the form and
function of the brain. Technological and scientific developments have recently yielded an …

Recent years have seen an expansion in the research related to structural brain adaptations
related to the acquisition and processing of additional languages. However, the …

It remains unsettled whether human language relies exclusively on innately privileged brain
structure in the left hemisphere or is more flexibly shaped through experiences, which …
