How does the bilingual experience sculpt the brain?
A Costa, N Sebastián-Gallés - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
The ability to speak two languages often marvels monolinguals, although bilinguals report
no difficulties in achieving this feat. Here, we examine how learning and using two …

Bilingual experience and resting-state brain connectivity: Impacts of L2 age of acquisition and social diversity of language use on control networks
We investigated the independent contributions of second language (L2) age of acquisition
(AoA) and social diversity of language use on intrinsic brain organization using seed-based …

Understanding bilingual brain function and structure changes? U bet! A unified bilingual experience trajectory model
A growing body of research shows that the brain adapts functionally and structurally to
specific bilingual experiences. These brain adaptations seem related to modulations in …

Effects of early and late bilingualism on resting-state functional connectivity
Of current interest is how variations in early language experience shape patterns of
functional connectivity in the human brain. In the present study, we compared simultaneous …
