A study from Concordia University found that knowing another language could help protect the brain from Alzheimer’s damage. Researchers found that bilingual people may experience a five-year delay in the onset of symptoms, and brain scans showed that bilingual Alzheimer’s patients retained volume in their hippocampus. The hippocampus, which is connected to memory, is an area of the brain that tends to shrink when someone has Alzheimer’s. This could mean learning another language may help protect your brain against cognitive decline! (Study Finds)
