Neural Representation of Multiple Languages in Polyglots: fMRI Evidence for a Shared Language Network

Malik-moraleda, Jouravlev, et al.

This fascinating study conducted by Malik-Moraleda, Jouravlev, et al explores how polyglots represent multiple languages in their brains. Using fMRI, the research reveals a shared language network that unveils striking similarities in brain activation for native and non-native languages, influenced by proficiency and familiarity.

Abstract
This study investigated the neural representation of multiple languages in polyglots using fMRI. The results suggest a shared language network, with similar activation patterns across native and non-native languages, but with a nuanced effect of language proficiency and familiarity.
