bilingual brain

Wow! I learned something crazy today! So, at this website I listed above i read that children who learn a 2nd language at a young age use the same place in their brain to proccess both languages. However, for those that learned a 2nd language in high school, college, or later, two separate parts of the brain are used to proccess the language.

In developmental psychology I learned that different neural connections exist within an individual's brain during different developmental stages. There are in fact some connections that only exist before puberty, and then disappear.
