Acquiring and speaking a second language increases demand on the processes of
language control for bilingual as compared to monolingual speakers. Language control for …

A large body of research has indicated that bilingualism–through continual practice in
language control–may impact cognitive functions, as well as relevant aspects of brain …

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 a new language requires the use of extensive neural networks and can represent
a powerful tool to reorganize brain neuroplasticity. In this study, we analyze how a 4 months …

Learning and using additional languages can result in structural changes in the brain.
However, the time course of these changes, as well as the factors the predict them, are still …

Bilingualism can delay the onset of dementia symptoms and has thus been characterized as
a mechanism for cognitive or brain reserve, although the origin of this reserve is unknown …

Bilingualism affects the structure of the brain in adults, as evidenced by experience-
dependent grey and white matter changes in brain structures implicated in language …

While there is a growing body of research on second language acquisition (SLA) in children,
adolescents, young and more mature adults, much remains to be explored about how adults …

Bilingualism is a natural laboratory for studying whether the brain's structural connectome is
influenced by different aspects of language experience. However, evidence on how distinct …

Long-term management of more than one language has been argued to contribute to
changes in brain and cognition. This has been particularly well documented in older age …
