What happens in the brain when we learn a language in addition to our native tongue? That depends on when that additional language is learned and its modality relative to the native language (i.e., Are both languages speech, or is one sign?). Discover the fascinating experiments that have revealed the brain's "bilingual language control" function and the many ways in which it can go awry.

Did the human brain evolve a specialized "mental organ" designed for language? Or was language a product of cultural evolution? Examine our relationship to the human microbiome as an analogy. We aren't born with the bacteria in our microbiome, but our biology is extraordinarily receptive to them. And once combined, the relationship transforms us and our abilities, very similar to language.

Investigate how the plasticity of the brain allows us to "cobble together" a neural network for reading and writing as we mature, using dyslexia and synesthesia to illustrate this networking property. This network develops at different times for different people, but no one is born with it; our "reading brain" is truly a technological transformation.
