Decades of research have shown that, from an early age, proficient bilinguals can speak
each of their two languages separately (similar to monolinguals) or rapidly switch between …

Is the developing bilingual brain fundamentally similar to the monolingual brain (eg, neural
resources supporting language and cognition)? Or, does early-life bilingual language …

The brain basis of bilinguals' ability to use two languages at the same time has been a hotly
debated topic. On the one hand, behavioral research has suggested that bilingual dual …

How does bilingual exposure impact children's neural circuitry for learning to read? Theories
of bilingualism suggests that exposure to two languages may yield a functional and …

Early bilingual exposure, especially exposure to two languages in different modalities such
as speech and sign, can profoundly affect an individual's language, culture, and cognition …

In a neuroimaging study focusing on young bilinguals, we explored the brains of bilingual
and monolingual babies across two age groups (younger 4–6months, older 10–12months) …

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

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 …

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 …

Recent advances in our understanding of the neural bases of the brain's structure (s) have
critically shaped research on second language (L2) and bilingualism. The emergence and …
