A study conducted by McGill and Ottawa universities in Canada, along with the University of Zaragoza in Spain, revealed that speaking two languages strengthens the brain. The collaborative research from the three universities found that bilingualism serves as a brain exercise and enhances cognitive abilities. Another new study by McGill and Ottawa in Canada and Zaragoza in Spain demonstrated the role of bilingualism in cognition and an increase in communication efficiency among brain regions. Scientists gathered 151 participants who spoke French, English, or both languages and recorded the age at which they learned their second language. Resting-state MR images were used to scan all participants’ brain connections. The MR images showed that the connectivity between brain regions in bilingual participants was higher than in monolinguals, and this connection was stronger in those who learned their second language at a younger age. Previous research has also shown that learning a second language can positively impact attention, healthy aging, and even recovery after brain damage.
