Lifelong bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve against white matter integrity declines in aging.

abstract：:Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves not only gray matter but also white matter pathology, as reflected by atrophy of the corpus callosum (CC). Since decreased CC size may indicate reduced functional interhemispheric connectivity, differences in callosal size may have cognitive consequences that may become specifically a...
