Resumen:
In a massively interconnected world, marked by constant political, educational, and recreational exchanges across cultures and nations, it is no surprise that multilingualism has become at least as prevalent as monolingualism (Grosjean, 1994 , 2013 ). Neither is it startling for this phenomenon to have entered theradar of neuroscience, as it entails various cognitive peculiarities of theoretical and translational interest (Bialystok, Abutalebi, Bak, Burke, & Kroll, 2016 ; Bialystok, Craik, & Luk, 2012 ). The ensuing research niche has grown dramatically in the last two decades, rekindling classical debates and prompting reflection on novel issues. Against this background, Neuroscience and Multilingualism addresses the challenge of offering a concise but diverse introduction to the topic.
