The present review article, with no pretense of being exhaustive, aims at shedding light on some of the major empirical studies conducted in recent years in Simultaneous Interpreting (SI) from a neurolinguistics point of view.Some of the issues that will be covered include the definition and development of expertise in SI, neuronal adaptation and the cognitive complexity of SI. The present preliminary review will end with some questions that future research could focus on and, hopefully, provide some answers to.
