Aims Neuroscience is requesting paper submissions for our October issue. Manuscripts will need to be received by August 28, 2014, and decisions on acceptance will be completed by September 28. Research suggests learning two languages prior to the age of 7 show extensive overlap while learning a second language later in life overlap much less. What theoretical mechanisms account for this sensitive period and why are different areas activated dependent on the age one learns a second language? A second aspect is whether there are other factors involved with the presence or absence of overlap? Please feel free to add your comments and insights here.

I read little about this topic while searching in my PhD thesis about the effect of teaching language differences on the executive function. What I remember right now is related to basal Ganglia in the brain and the neural circuits
I think that researches of Andrea Stocco will be helpful
Good question and goodluck
I do not know too much but what I know is related to sign language and oral language. it seems are produced in the same hemisphere.
AIMS Neuroscience has just published a very interesting review article on this subject. It brings into question the benefits and how these are researched.
