Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s society, multilingualism has been a hot topic both in neural science and education. The neural bases of multilingual language processing have been extensively investigated with the advent of functional neuroimaging techniques and electrical stimulation brain mapping. Simultaneously, the effect of multilingualism on cognition, memory, emotions, and brain development has also been a live debate in recent years.
The aim of this Special Issue of Brain Sciences is to provide further insight into unanswered questions such as the influence of age of acquisition, proficiency, or language exposure; which language control mechanism allows managing more than one language in one brain; if the anatomo-functional cortical and subcortical networks share common or specific activations for all languages; or the brain plasticity associated with the brain development in a child exposed to more than one language.
Original research works and literature reviews from leading scientists in the field will contribute to a better understanding of the underpinnings of the cognitive science of multilingualism.
