Language localization in other cultures

[un homme de douleur]

I remember having read -somewhere- about language localization in other 
cultures (non american/english speaking) and how it differs from that of 
English speakers.  Specificly I remember something about Japanese children
developing both sides of the brain for language due to the dramatic 
difference in the language.  Can anybody point me to a source for this 
information?
