“Language acquisition has been shown to impact neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to undergo structural changes in response to stimulus, behavioral experience, or cognitive demands.

These changes include the pattern of functional neurons and can occur rapidly, and at any age.” (more)
