Abstract

Bilingualism engages multiple cognitive and neural mechanisms, leading to significant changes in brain structure and function. This paper explores how the brain processes and manages two or more languages, focusing on the neural networks involved in language control, executive function, and memory. Additionally, it examines structural adaptations, such as increased gray matter density and enhanced connectivity, and their cognitive benefits, including improved attention, problem-solving, and delayed cognitive decline
