The British actually introduced the language to the Americas when they reached these lands by sea between the 16th and 17th centuries. At that time, spelling had not yet been standardised. It took the writing of the first dictionaries to set in stone how these words appeared. In the UK, the dictionary was compiled by London-based scholars. Meanwhile, in the United States, the lexicographer was a man named Noah Webster. Allegedly, he changed how the words were spelled to make the American version different from the British as a way of showing cultural independence from its mother country.

The neuroscience of language is a branch of cognitive neuroscience, a field aimed to understand the relationship between our mental experiences and our biology, with emphasis on the brain in the context of our bodies. We, human beings, have many mental abilities that can be studied scientifically. Many researchers are interested in understanding the neurobiological bases of memory, or the origin of emotions or attention, and so on. Trying to understand how language —the ability to produce and comprehend language, to acquire a native tongue, or to learn a foreign language— relates to the brain is the task of the neuroscience of language.

Adolfo M. García is a researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina (CONICET) and he is a specialist in this field. During his academic training, he first obtained the degree of Technical-Scientific Translator in English, and then earned his major in Teaching of English as a Foreign Language. Originally, he developed a taste for general linguistics. Then, his curiosity took him deep into the world of neurolinguistics, in a journey that began with research stays at New York University and Rice University, both in the United States. In his doctorate, he combined two of his passions: translation and brain studies. Nowadays, he is the scientific director of the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology and Neuroscience (LPEN) at the Institute of Cognitive and Translational Neuroscience (INCYT), which belongs to the Ineco Foundation, Favaloro Foundation and CONICET.
