The literature has identified many important factors affecting the extent to which languages
in bilinguals rely on the same neural populations in the specific brain region. The factors …

Studies on the neuroanatomical basis of bilingualism have yielded various but inconsistent
differences between bilinguals and monolinguals. In this commentary, we will discuss how …

Increased understanding of the ways in which multiple languages are represented in
bilingual speakers' brains would undoubtedly advance several theoretical issues in areas …

Two meta-analyses of 66 behavioral studies examined variables influencing functional
cerebral lateralization of each language of brain-intact bilingual adults. Functional …

A series of discoveries in the past two decades has changed the way we think about
bilingualism and its implications for language and cognition. One is that both of the …

In the last two decades, we have learned that there is far greater neuroplasticity in adulthood
than previously understood. Experiences as varied as driving a taxi cab, playing a musical …

How do bilingual (or multilingual) persons keep different languages apart and switch
between them as needs arise? Crinion et al. have used an ingenious method to dissociate …

Learning and using an additional language is shown to have an impact on the structure and
function of the brain, including in regions involved in cognitive control and the connections …

The cerebral basis of bilingualism has drawn the interest of researchers for more than a
century. The origins of this research field may be traced back to early accounts of selective …

The goal of the present review is to discuss recent cognitive neuroscientific findings
concerning bilingualism. Three interrelated questions about the bilingual brain are …
