Bilingualism and Neuroplasticity

The video explores how bilingualism affects brain biology, emphasizing the brain's plasticity. It explains that bilingualism rewires the brain, particularly enhancing the executive control system, which manages attention and conflict resolution. The video also highlights structural changes in bilingual brains, such as increased cortical thickness and better white matter integrity, which improve communication between brain regions.
