Monolingual and bilingual infants rely on the same brain networks: Evidence from resting-state functional connectivity

Abstract: 15This study examines whether bilingual exposure has a profound effect on the functional organization of the 16 developing human brain during infancy. Recent behavioural research attests that monolingual vs. bilingual 17 experience affects cognitive and linguistic processes already during the first months of life. However, to what 18 extent the intrinsic organization of the infant human brain adapts to monolingual vs. bilingual environments is 19 unclear. We measured spontaneous hemodynamic brain activity usin… Show more

“…The dataset used in this study is high-quality fNIRS data collected from a large sample of participants, which accurately describes large-scale patterns of functional connectivity at the population level in 4-month-old infants ( 20 ). The sample in the dataset consisted of 104 participants who were recorded during natural sleep for relative changes in HbO and HbR in the cerebral cortex.…”

“…Most of these studies, like those studying children, have focused on the effects of the early language environment on changes in HbR and HbO levels and have not thoroughly examined gender differences in early development. In addition, most early infant studies define cortical activation based on HbO signaling only ( 20 ) and do not consider HbR signaling either before or after data analysis. However, the fNIRS community has raised awareness of the importance of assessing HbO and HbR (and possibly HbT) in order to draw solid scientific conclusions, and most publications now report results for both parameters.…”
