Front Psychol
. 2019 Apr;
10:445.
PMID: 31024369
Patterns of language impairment in multilingual speakers with post-stroke aphasia are diverse: in some cases the language deficits are parallel, that is, all languages are impaired relatively equally, whereas in...

PMID: 30321040
Objective: The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) is a screening tool for the assessment of poststroke deficits in attention, memory, praxis, language, and number processing. The goal of the present study...

Front Neurosci
. 2018 Aug;

PMID: 30090054
Word retrieval in bilingual speakers partly depends on executive control systems in the left prefrontal cortex - including dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We tested the hypothesis that DLPFC modulates word...

Del Maschio N, Sulpizio S, Fedeli D, Ramanujan K, Ding G, Weekes B, et al.
Cereb Cortex
. 2018 Jul;
29(7):3091-3101.
PMID: 30059975
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a key structure implicated in the regulation of cognitive control (CC). Previous studies suggest that variability in the ACC sulcal pattern-a neurodevelopmental marker unaffected...

Brain Cogn
. 2018 Jul;
125:118-126.
PMID: 29990701
Evidence that bilingualism protects against age-related neurocognitive decline is mixed. One relatively consistent finding is that bilingual seniors have greater grey matter volume (GMV) in regions implicated in executive control...

Borsa V, Perani D, Della Rosa P, Videsott G, Guidi L, Weekes B, et al.
Neuropsychologia
. 2018 Jan;
111:51-61.
PMID: 29360516
Speaking more than one language is associated with neurocognitive benefits in seniors (Alladi et al. 2013). Few studies however have tested this hypothesis directly by comparing bilingual seniors who vary...

J Neuropsychol
. 2016 Jan;
11(3):414-435.
PMID: 26762893
Current models of oral reading assume that different routes (sublexical, lexical, and semantic) mediate oral reading performance and reliance on different routes during oral reading depends on the characteristics of...

Neuropsychologia
. 2015 Feb;
69:201-10.
PMID: 25637228
It has been postulated that bilingualism may act as a cognitive reserve and recent behavioral evidence shows that bilinguals are diagnosed with dementia about 4-5 years later compared to monolinguals....

Neurobiol Aging
. 2014 Apr;
35(9):2126-33.
PMID: 24721820
Cerebral gray-matter volume (GMV) decreases in normal aging but the extent of the decrease may be experience-dependent. Bilingualism may be one protective factor and in this article we examine its...
