\"\"J\u00f3venes de la Academia de Interpretaci\u00f3n de las Fuerzas Armadas Suecas ayudaron a desarrollar una investigaci\u00f3n en la que se comprob\u00f3 que el cerebro aumenta su tama\u00f1o cuando se aprende un idioma nuevo. <\/p>\n

Los cient\u00edficos se\u00f1alaron que durante 13 meses los sujetos de estudio aprendieron un nuevo idioma, estudiando todos los d\u00edas de la semana, en un horario que abarcaba desde la ma\u00f1ana hasta la tarde. <\/p>\n

Al mismo tiempo, se trabajaba con un grupo de control, integrado por estudiantes de medicina y ciencias cognitivas, y posteriormente, por medio de resonancias magn\u00e9ticas, se compar\u00f3 la morfolog\u00eda cerebral de ambos grupos. <\/p>\n

Estos estudios demostraron que el cerebro del grupo de control no mostr\u00f3 cambios, mientras que los estudiantes de idiomas tuvieron cierto crecimiento cerebral en el hipocampo, \u00e1rea que se relaciona con el aprendizaje de informaci\u00f3n nueva, y otras tres \u00e1reas de la corteza cerebral.<\/p>\n

\u00abNos sorprendi\u00f3 que distintas partes del cerebro se desarrollaran a distintos grados, dependiendo de qu\u00e9 tanto rend\u00edan los estudiantes y cu\u00e1nto esfuerzo ten\u00edan que dedicar para mantenerse al d\u00eda en el curso\u00bb, explic\u00f3 Johan Martensson, investigador en psicolog\u00eda de la Universidad de Lund, en Suecia.<\/p>\n

Martensson se\u00f1al\u00f3 que estudios previos hab\u00edan acotado que las personas biling\u00fces y multiling\u00fces tardan m\u00e1s en desarrollar Alzheimer.<\/p>\n

\u00abAunque no podemos comparar tres meses de estudio intensivo de un idioma con toda una vida biling\u00fce, muchas cosas sugieren que aprender idiomas es una buena forma de mantener el cerebro en forma\u00bb, concluy\u00f3 el especialista. <\/p>\n

Speed-Learning a New Language May Help Brain Grow: Study<\/strong>
\nLearning a new language over a short period of time appears to make the brain grow, new research suggests.<\/p>\n

The new study included young recruits at the Swedish Armed Forces Interpreter Academy who went from having no knowledge of a new language to speaking it fluently within 13 months. The recruits studied at a furious pace: from morning to evening, weekdays and weekends.<\/p>\n

The recruits were compared to medicine and cognitive science students at a university (the \u00abcontrol\u00bb group), who also studied hard, but weren’t learning a new language.<\/p>\n

Both groups underwent MRI brain scans before and after a three-month period of intensive study. The scans showed that the brain structure of the control group remained unchanged, but certain parts of the brain of the language students grew.<\/p>\n

This growth occurred in the hippocampus, a structure involved in learning new material and spatial navigation, and in three areas of the cerebral cortex.<\/p>\n

Among the recruits, those who took naturally to learning a new language had greater growth in the hippocampus and areas of the cerebral cortex related to language learning, while those who had to put more effort into learning a new language had greater growth in an area of the motor region of the cerebral cortex, the investigators found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
