Subcortical structures implicated in language control and processing adapt structurally with
increasing language experience. However, the adaptation patterns across different …

This chapter reviews a small but growing body of research that examines neuroplasticity
stemming from multilingualism, specifically discussing some similarities and differences in …

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 …

Bilingualism has been linked to structural adaptations of subcortical brain regions that are
important for controlling multiple languages. However, research on the location and extent of …

Bilingualism has been linked to structural adaptations of subcortical brain regions that are
important nodes in controlling of multiple languages. However, research on the location and …

This chapter provides a contemporary snapshot of the literature on multilingualism‐induced
changes in the brain, including theoretical suggestions about the origin and the nature of …

Structural and functional brain adaptations in bilingual speakers are well documented in the
neurolinguistic literature. However, far less is known about neural changes evidenced in …

Abstract Language processing relies on the communication between brain regions that is
achieved through several white matter tracts, part of the dorsal, ventral, and medial …

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 …

Learning a second language (L2) has been shown to trigger structural brain adaptations.
However, available evidence has reported effects in various brain regions and in different …
