Title: Article: Learning New Language Has Significant Impact on Brain Structure
Body: From http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/9183/20130831/learning-new-language-has-significant-impact-on-brian-structure.htm Learning New Language Has Significant Impact on Brain Structure by Benita Matilda August 31, 2013 It has been suggested before by experts that a great way to make one's brain healthier is by learning a new language. Second language boosts brain power. A previous study conducted by researchers at Lund University showed that learning a new language actually makes parts of the brain grow. According to a new joint study, learning a new language alters brain development. The study was conducted by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro at McGill University in collaboration with researchers at Oxford University. According to the study, the task of acquiring a second language after infancy fuels a novel neural growth and links among neurons similar to the one observed at the time of acquiring complex motor skills. For the study, the researchers used software that was developed at The Neuro. They examined the MRI scans of 66 bilingual men and women as well as 22 monolingual men and women living in Montreal region. On examining the MRI scans the researchers learnt that after infancy, the left inferior frontal cortex turns thicker while the right inferior frontal cortex thins down.

Title: Harvard University To Teach Breton Language
Body: From http://www.thelocal.fr/20130826/americas-harvard-uni-to-launch-course-in-breton Harvard University to teach Breton language August 26, 2013 Breton, the regional language of Brittany in the North West of France, may be struggling to survive in France but attempts to keep it alive have been given a welcome boost from across the Pond. The agreement, announced on Saturday between the Department of Breton and Celtic Studies at Rennes 2 University and the Department of Celtic languages and literature at Harvard, intends to offer “crash course” sessions in Breton to both masters and PHD students. The Breton language comes from the British Isles where it shares linguistic roots with the Celtic languages spoken in Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. But like the Celtic languages across the English Channel, Breton is struggling to survive. According to a TMO-Régions survey in 2009, less than 200,000 people speak it in France. Between 1997 and 2007 the number of Breton speakers went down by 30% whilst the majority of them are aged over 60.
