A recent study explored the impact of bilingualism on brain and cognitive reserve in older adults diagnosed with or at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using data from the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging and the Quebec Consortium for Early Identification of AD. Researchers applied surface-based morphometry to assess cortical thickness and volume in regions associated with language and AD. While no significant evidence of brain reserve was found in language-related areas, bilingual individuals with AD showed preserved hippocampal volume compared to monolinguals. This suggests that bilingualism may support brain maintenance, potentially enhancing resilience against AD-related neurodegeneration. Additionally, despite similar levels of brain pathology, some individuals demonstrate preserved cognitive function, indicating resilience with factors such as bilingualism believed to contribute to such resilience by fostering structural and functional brain adaptations.
