From the article "Our study was a first foray into imaging the brains of professionally trained Sanskrit pandits in India. Although this initial research, focused on intergroup comparison of brain structure, could not directly address the Sanskrit effect question (that requires detailed functional studies with cross-language memorization comparisons, for which we are currently seeking funding)," Is it just me who thinks that this disclaimer negate whole point of research ?

I too don't think a language by itself don't have a certain effect on brain development. But Brahmins (who study vedas in India) starting learning Vedas at about 4 years of age, if am not wrong, chanting it daily morning from 4.am for couple of hours. That would definitely have an impact on your brain. Remember the study which showed London taxi drivers had bigger brains?
