The brain is an ocean filled with ships of thought, islands of memory, and the deep trenches of the subconscious.
Today's voyage is about some of the trade routes in this ocean that are related to language.

Do different languages live on separate islands, or do they share neural pathways beneath the surface? And how might lifelong bilingualism provide the brain with new tools?
