In simple terms, people who spoke more languages tended to have brains that looked younger than expected for their chronological age. The effec…

Speaking another language could slow aging in the brain
People who speak more than one language seem to have younger brains, according to research presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026. Our brains are made up of billions of nerve cells that need to communicate with one another. As we age, connectivity in our brains tends to deteriorate and, as a result, our memory and the speed of our thinking also decline.
A new study showed that people who speak multiple languages may have younger brains.
