I wonder what the effects will be of learning to read a "new" language, in addition to ones that we already know. Would that result in detectable changes? Would the type of "new" language matter? Say, Someone who knows E

Just a tangential headsup for others if they are paying for vimovo (out of pocket, or significant co-pay). Vimovo is a combination of two generics (naproxen & esomeprezol) delayed release. You can probably get OTC versions of the two pi
