Effect of monolingualism and bilingualism in the anterior cingulate cortex: a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study in two centers

Abstract: Reports of an advantage of bilingualism on brain structure in young adult participants are inconsistent. Abutalebi et al. (2012) reported more efficient monitoring of conflict during the Flanker task in young bilinguals compared to young monolingual speakers. The present study compared young adult (mean age = 24) Cantonese-English bilinguals in Hong Kong and young adult monolingual speakers. We expected (a) differences in metabolites in neural tissue to result from bilingual experience, as measured by 1H-MRS a… Show more

“…The present study expands on Weekes et al 45 by looking at the effects of bilingualism on metabolite concentrations in the ventral striatum, a subcortical grey matter nucleus comprising the caudate nucleus and the putamen, key structures for language selection and cognitive control 28 , that have both been shown to be affected structurally by bilingualism 41,43 . In order to study such effects across the adult lifespan, the present study comprises a relatively large sample that spans an age range representative of the adult lifespan, additionally accounting for the known effects of age on metabolite concentrations 19 .…”
