    • openAccess   A cross-sectional and longitudinal study on the protective effect of bilingualism against dementia using brain atrophy and cognitive measures. 

      Costumero, Víctor; Marin-Marin, Lidón; Calabria, Marco; Belloch, Vicente; Escudero, Joaquín; Baquero Toledo, Miguel; Hernández, Mireia; Ruiz de Miras, Juan; Costa, Albert; Parcet, Maria Antònia; Avila, Cesar Springer (2020-01-10)
      Background: Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve because bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) up to 5 years later than monolinguals. ...

    • closedAccess   Do bilinguals show neural differences with monolinguals when processing their native language? 

      Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Bueichekú, Elisenda; Avila, Cesar; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Strijkers, Kristof; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Costa, Albert Elsevier (2015-03)
      The present research used fMRI to measure brain activity in passive listening and picture-naming tasks with a group of early high proficient Spanish–Catalan bilinguals, in which Spanish was dominant, and a group of Spanish ...

    • openAccess   Effects of bilingualism on white matter atrophy in mild cognitive impairment: a diffusion tensor imaging study 

      Marin-Marin, Lidón; Costumero, Víctor; Belloch, Vicente; Escudero, Joaquín; Baquero Toledo, Miguel; Parcet, Maria Antònia; Avila, Cesar Wiley (2019-12-05)
      Background and purpose:Previous investigations show that bilinguals exhibitthe first symptoms of dementia 4–5 years later than monolinguals. Therefore,bilingualism has been proposed as a cognitive reserve mechanism. Recent ...

    • closedAccess   Neural bases of language switching in high and early proficient bilinguals 

      Garbin, Gabrielle; Costa, Albert; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Forn, Cristina; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Belloch, Vicente; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2011-12)
      The left inferior frontal cortex, the caudate and the anterior cingulate have been proposed as the neural origin of language switching, but most of the studies were conducted in low proficient bilinguals. In the present ...

    • openAccess   Neural correlates of audiovisual speech processing in a second language 

      Barrós-Loscertales, Alfonso; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Visser, Maya; Alsius, Agnès; Pallier, Christophe; Avila, Cesar; Soto Faraco, Salvador Elsevier (2013-09)
      Neuroimaging studies of audiovisual speech processing have exclusively addressed listeners’ native language (L1). Yet, several behavioural studies now show that AV processing plays an important role in non-native (L2) ...

    • openAccess   Neural differences between monolinguals and early bilinguals in their native languaje during comprehension 

      Román Fernández, Patricia; González-Álvarez, Julio; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2015-11)
      Research has shown that semantic processing of sentences engages more activity in the bilingual compared to the monolingual brain and, more specifically, in the inferior frontal gyrus. The present study aims to extend those ...
