Concordia researchers examined brain resilience in regions of the brain linked to language and aging.
The hippocampus in bilinguals with Alzheimerâs disease was noticeably larger than those who were monolingual.
The study suggests there may be some form of brain maintenance related to bilingualism.
Mental stimulation, such as bilingualism, along with a healthy diet, regular exercise, good sleep and good sensory health are believed to help protect the brain.
