Diffusion tensor imaging was used to compare white matter structure between American
monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual adults living in the United States. In the bilingual …

Traditional models hold that the plastic reorganization of brain structures occurs mainly
during childhood and adolescence, leaving adults with limited means to learn new …

Morphological brain changes as a consequence of new learning have been widely
established. Learning a second language (L2) is one such experience that can lead to rapid …

Adult human brains retain the capacity to undergo tissue reorganization during second-
language learning. Brain-imaging studies show a relationship between neuroanatomical …

The impact of bilingualism on the microstructure of the white matter pathways related to
language processing is assessed in elementary school children by magnetic resonance …

Second language learning becomes increasingly difficult with age, but some adults learn
more successfully than others. We examined whether inter-subject variability in the …

Recent studies suggest that learning and using a second language (L2) can affect brain
structure, including the structure of white matter (WM) tracts. This observation comes from …

Learning and learning to regulate more than one language is shown to have an impact on
the structural connectivity of the brain in networks related to language processing and …

Functional neuroimaging, used in conjunction with experimental cognitive tasks, has been
extremely successful in establishing functional specialization as a principle of brain …

Recent studies using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have described overall white matter
integrity in bilinguals but have not related structural neural pathways to language functions …
