Does the brain of a bilingual process language differently from that of a monolingual? We
compared how bilinguals and monolinguals recruit classic language brain areas in …

A large body of previous neuroimaging studies suggests that multiple languages are
processed and organized in a single neuroanatomical system in the bilingual brain …

Over the past decade, functional neuroimaging technologies such as positron emission
tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging have enabled neuroscientists to …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we found that when bilinguals named
pictures or read words aloud, in their native or nonnative language, activation was higher …

Naturally acquiring a language shapes the human brain through a long-lasting learning and
practice process. This is supported by previous studies showing that managing more than …

The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention.
However, it is still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual …

This study examined whether semantic processes in two languages (English and Spanish)
are mediated by a common neural system in fluent bilinguals who acquired their second …

Notwithstanding rising interest, a coherent picture of the brain's representation of two
languages has not yet been achieved. In the present meta-analysis we analysed a large …

The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This
raises the fundamental question how the language network in the brain is organized such …

For many years, researchers investigating the brain bases of bilingualism have concentrated
on two basic questions. The first concerns the nature of language representation. That is, are …
