Neural bases of asymmetric language switching in second-language learners: an ER-fMRI study
TL;DR: The results suggest that neural correlates of language switching differ depending on the direction of the switch and that there does not seem to be a specific brain area acting as a "language switch".

TL;DR: This work integrated behavioral ratings, computational models of reading and visual object recognition, and neuroimaging data to examine the nature of visual word representations in the fusiform cortex and provided clear evidence that the middle and anteriorfusiform represented both phonological and orthographic information.
Superior Pitch Identification Ability Is Associated With Better Executive Functions
TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that AP musicians were more likely than non-AP musicians to use strategies of semantic associative memory, such as linguistic, emotional, or spatial representations, to perform a pitch matching task.

Sustained and transient language control in the bilingual brain.
TL;DR: It is suggested that sustained and transient activities in the human brain modulate the behavioral costs during switching-related language control.
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the left temporoparietal cortex facilitates assembled phonology
TL;DR: This paper found that tDCS on the left temporoparietal cortex (LTPC) specifically facilitated learning via assembled phonology, but not that via addressed phonology and the beneficial effect was still present four days later.
