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 …

Bilingualism has been associated with increases in compensatory mechanisms to age-
related neurocognitive decline thus delaying dementia symptom onset and leading to a …

Previous research has shown that bilingual speakers have higher levels of cognitive control
than comparable monolinguals, especially at older ages. The present study investigates a …

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

In the past decade, several studies have investigated language-general and-specific brain
regions for reading. However, very limited research has examined the white matter that …

Here, we review the neural correlates of cognitive control associated with bilingualism. We
demonstrate that lifelong practice managing two languages orchestrates global changes to …

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 …

Components of reading proficiency such as accuracy, fluency, and comprehension require
the successful coordination of numerous, yet distinct, cortical regions. Underlying white …

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 …
