What factors influence how two languages are coded in one brain. Comment on 'The bilingual brain: Flexibility and control in the human cortex' by Buchweitz and Prat. (Note)

摘要

For many years, researchers have wondered how two languages are represented in one brain. Of particular interest is the finding of selective impairment of a single language in bilinguals [1,2]. Naturally, this leads to the question of what factors might be determining which language is preserved and which is lost. It also leads to the possibility that each language may have different neural representations.
