This paper examines the role of multilingualism in cognitive development and brain plasticity from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. By synthesizing insights from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and education, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of how the ability to speak multiple languages can influence cognitive functions and reshape brain structure. Through a review of empirical research and theoretical models, the paper explores the cognitive benefits linked to multilingualism, such as improvements in attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. It also highlights the neural mechanisms involved, with implications for individuals and society.
