    2. Being Bilingual
      1. It is a multidimensional construct composed of two linked parts. The first of these is language proficiency, and the second is language use.

      2. Widespread effects
        1. Higher density of grey matter
          1. Older people tend to have better-maintained white matter in their brains
          2. Affects the development and efficiency
