Early childhood bilingualism: effects on brain structure and function
TLDR
It is hypothesized that connectivity and EC will be enhanced in bilingual children compared to monolingual children, and each outcome will be modulated by age of exposure to two languages and by bilingual language usage.
Early childhood bilingualism: effects on brain structure and function.
TLDR
Overall, it is hypothesize that connectivity and EC will be enhanced in bilingual children compared to monolingual children, and each outcome will be modulated by age of exposure to two languages and by bilingual language usage.
Bilingual language experience as a multidimensional spectrum: Associations with objective and subjective language proficiency
Abstract Despite the multifactorial space of language experience in which people continuously vary, bilinguals are often dichotomized into ostensibly homogeneous groups. The timing of language…
Bilingual experience and intrinsic functional connectivity in adults, aging, and Alzheimer's disease
TLDR
The latest evidence of changes in RSFC in language and cognitive control networks in bilinguals during adulthood, aging, and early Alzheimer's disease is reviewed, which can add to the understanding of brain functional reshaping in the context of second language (L2) acquisition.
Bilingual language processing: A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies
Patterns and networks of language control in bilingual language production.
TLDR
It is found that patterns of neural activity in frontal brain regions including the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, left inferior frontal gyrus, left supplementary motor area, anterior cingulate cortex, bilateral precentral gyri, and the left cerebellum reliably discriminated between switch and non-switch conditions.
A meta-analysis of task-based differences in bilingual L1 and L2 language networks
TLDR
The findings support previous accounts of the effect of participant characteristics on linguistic processing, while at the same time revealing dissociable differences in fMRI activation for L1 and L2 networks within and across tasks that appear independent of these external factors.

Redefining bilingualism as a spectrum of experiences that differentially affects brain structure and function
TLDR
The results demonstrate that differences in bilingual language experiences confer a range of systematic outcomes in terms of brain/mind adaptations, and strongly support a shift away from traditional designs with bilingual vs. monolingual comparisons and toward an approach of modeling the experiences within bilingualism that give rise to neurocognitive adaptations.

TLDR
Results from brain imaging studies of healthy adults and on the performance of bilingual individuals with brain damage are discussed and the current knowledge about the neural basis of these control systems is reviewed.

Bilingualism tunes the anterior cingulate cortex for conflict monitoring.
TLDR
It is revealed that dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, a structure tightly bound to domain-general executive control functions, is a common locus for language control and resolving nonverbal conflict and that bilinguals use this structure more efficiently than monolinguals to monitor nonlinguistic cognitive conflicts.
The effects of bilingualism on the white matter structure of the brain
TLDR
It is proposed that learning and actively using an L2 after childhood can have rapid dynamic effects on WM structure, which in turn may assist in preserving WM integrity in older age.
