In this article, we will provide a brief overview of how two or more languages are organized in the human brain and what mediates their processes. We will discuss whether two languages are represented in a similar fashion at the brain level and how these two languages are eventually controlled. Finally, we will illustrate that bilingualism induces also neural changes upon some brain regions and in turn that these changes may be responsible for protecting the bilingual brain better against cognitive decline.

Abstract

In this article, we will provide a brief overview of how two or more languages are organized in the human brain and what mediates their processes. We will discuss whether two languages are represented in a similar fashion at the brain level and how these two languages are eventually controlled. Finally, we will illustrate that bilingualism induces also neural changes upon some brain regions and in turn that these changes may be responsible for protecting the bilingual brain better against cognitive decline.
