Bilingual people have sharper brains than their monolingual peers

A new study has shown that those who were bilingual as children have sharper brains as older people.

Preserved brains are displayed at the Wellcome Trust's new 'Brains' exhibition at the Wellcome Collection on March 27, 2012, in London, England. A new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience has shown that those who were bilingual as children have sharper brains as they age.
