    A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that learning a second language is related to the mechanism of brain circuits, and that such brain circuit systems in animals can help rats learn to get out of the maze. Michael Allman, a
    paper author and professor of neuroscience at Georgetown University School of Medicine, has long proposed a narrative-procedural memory system model for language learning, which holds that human memory systems are divided into narrative memory systems and procedural memory systems, and that the two systems have independent brain material bases, i.e. in different brain regions.
    the narrative memory system is responsible for knowledge, facts and "what" presentational knowledge, and procedural memory systems are responsible for storing "how" procedural knowledge.
    new research suggests that when adults start learning another language, grammar learning is first associated with narrative memory and, as learning progresses, to procedural memory.
    this association exists in multiple languages such as English, French, Japanese, and listening and reading, suggesting that this correlation is reliable.
    know that little is known about the geneticand and biological principles of language, neuroscientists know a lot about these two brain systems and have identified many of the genes behind them that may also play a role in language.
    new study is important for understanding language evolution and its biological basis, and researchers believe that in addition to promoting foreign language learning, it could also have a positive effect on the treatment of language disorders such as autism, aphasia and difficulty reading.
