The study offers the first neural evidence that traces of the “lostâ€� language remain in the brain.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/figure_v2.jpg?itok=Nz3Ff57_" width="160" height="66" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">17 </span><span class="month">November </span><span class="year">2014</span></div></div></div></div></div> Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:37:17 +0000 webfull 106593 at /channels /channels/news/learning-new-language-alters-brain-development-230131 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><i>Scientists at The Neuro find important time factor in second-language acquisition</i></p> <p>The age at which children learn a second language can have a significant bearing on the structure of their adult brain, according to a new joint study by the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ and Oxford University. The majority of people in the world learn to speak more than one language during their lifetime. Many do so with great proficiency particularly if the languages are learned simultaneously or from early in development.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/imagesca7e3lz8.jpg?itok=5BxqTHgY" width="160" height="155" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">29 </span><span class="month">August </span><span class="year">2013</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:16:59 +0000 webfull 98264 at /channels
