Learning new languages sharpens the brain, says new study

A new study has said that learning foreign languages may sharpen your brain by enhancing its elasticity and ability to code information.
The researchers said, The more foreign languages we learn, the more effectively our brain reacts and processes the data accumulated in the course of learning. Apparently, the ability of the brain to quickly process information depends on one`s linguistic anamneses. Our experiment shows that the brain`s electrical activity of those participants who had already known some foreign languages, was higher. The more languages someone mastered, the faster the neuron network coding the information on the new words was formed.
This new data stimulates the brain`s physiology: loading the mind with more knowledge boosts its elasticity. We believe that understanding how the brain functions in acquiring language is of crucial importance in diagnosing speech impediments after accidents, strokes, and other related conditions, and finding ways to treat them. Moreover, when we achieve better insight into the principles of creating and strengthening neuron networks, we will be able to harness these mechanisms, speed them up and improve the learning process.
