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 …

A review of the current literature regarding bilingualism demonstrates that bilingualism is
linked to higher levels of controlled attention and inhibition in executive control and can …

Previous research has documented change in white matter tract integrity with increasing
age. Both interhemispheric and intrahemispheric tracts that underlie language processing …

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 …

The multilingual brain implements mechanisms that serve to select the appropriate
language as a function of the communicative environment. Engaging these mechanisms on …

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 …

An increasing body of research has investigated how bilingual language experience
changes brain structure and function, including changes to task-free, or “resting-state” brain …

Previous neuroimaging studies have revealed that bilingualism induces both structural and
functional neuroplasticity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and the left caudate …

Learning and speaking a second language (L2) may result in profound changes in the
human brain. Here, we investigated local structural differences along two language-related …

How the brain deals with more than one language and whether we need different or extra
brain language sub-networks to support more than one language remain unanswered …
