Research has identified structural differences between monolinguals and bilinguals in brain regions underlying language, and memory. This is consistent with the Declarative/Procedural language model, which proposes that hippocampal-based and basal ganglia-based networks subserve language learning and processing.Whole-brain resting-state functional connectivity (FC) of bilateral hippocampi and caudate nuclei was analyzed in 117 participants with diverse multilingual language experience, to assess relationships of FC with performance on verbal declarative memory and procedural memory tasks, and
