Here's an interesting article about the brain structure of people who grew
up bilingual. The Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience in London
found that these people show a significant increase in the density of their
grey matter in certain areas of the brain.

Sorry, this is in German only - I couldn't find an English version of these
findings:
