The age at which children learn a second language can have a significant bearing on the structure of their adult brain, according to a new study.
Learning a second language later on in childhood after gaining proficiency in the first (native) language does in fact modify the brain's structure, specifically the brain's inferior frontal cortex.
The task of acquiring a second language after infancy stimulates new neural growth and connections among neurons in ways seen in acquiring complex motor skills such as juggling.
The authors speculate that the difficulty that some people have in learning a second language later in life could be explained at the structural level.
"The later in childhood that the second language is acquired, the greater are the changes in the inferior frontal cortex," said Dr Denise Klein, researcher in The Neuro's Cognitive Neuroscience Unit and a lead author on the paper published in the journal Brain and Language.
"Our results provide structural evidence that ageof acquisition is crucial in laying down the structure for language learning," Klein said. Via Dr. Stefan Gruenwald, Ivo Nový

Recognizing our common humanity helps us overcome all barriers and leads to belonging. When we overly identify with sub-groups we create prejudice, racism, and comparisions...which are negatively correlated with our health.

Martin Couzins and Sam Burrogh introduce in simple words the importance of curation and its relationship with their story and work. How do we get to the information that is really useful? How do we get to it quickly? A good introduction for beginners. 7/10 Original video: http://youtu.be/qxm9ElX4jaM Check also the related article: http://learnpatch.com/2013/08/how-content-curation-can-help-transform-workplace-learning/

Alessandro Rea's insight:
Start-ups are not just a domain of twenty-something single hipsters but much more domain of young parents who couldn’t help themselves to found or join a start-up besides raising their children. Limiting myself just to Slovenian start-up ecosystem I can give you some powerful examples. Jelena Rašula is not just a co-founder of award winning start-up Confidly but also a mother of two. Darko Butina not only pushed forward the biggest exit yet for a Slovenian start-up, but also has two sons to handle. Samo Login kick-started two most successful start-ups in Slovenia, but also made sure both of his sons made it through puberty. Miha Mikek got his first daughter just as Celtra begun its explosive growth. Andraž Logar not only grows 3fs but also have a child to take care of. At Zemanta, our former CEO Aleš has a daughter, while our current CEO Todd has two gorgeous children that we just have a privilege of hosting in Ljubljana. And this week’s team call included not just Jeff, our VP of publisher development, but also his adorable daughters.
