We do memories as a baby, so why do we forget?
MRI studies show that the brains and children’s brains can codify memories, even if we don’t remember adults
Brain exams suggest that the child’s hippocampoine can encode memories.

For a year Young people can create memories, depending on the results of the brain scanning study currently published Science. The findings suggest that children’s amnesia – inability to remember the first years of life – it is probably the creation of difficulties in reminding memories than to create.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity, memories are still in adulthood. We can’t access them,” Columbia University Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist Neuroscientist.

If possible, adults cannot remember events in the first months or years. However, the child’s hippocampus, a key brain to preserve such memories, is not enough to develop or lead to adult memories.
The subject, Yates and his colleagues used images of functional magnetic lighting (MRI) to scan 26 children and 26 years old, who were performing a task that were filling in memory.
The group measured the Hipokampal activity when the children saw the image of a new face, object or scene, and when they showed the same image again a minute later.
Hypocampal has been a greater activity that a baby was looking for a new image, the longer they looked when that image shows that again. Because babies spend more time that spend more time, it suggests that this result was remembering what he saw.
Researchers saw the hardest encoding activity of the Hippocampus – the area that is the most linked to the remembrance of the adult.
“This show is the evidence of the ability to encode the encoding,” Nick Turk-Browne, a Korologist Psychologist at the University of New Yale University, Connecticut.
“Although we saw this among all babies in our study, the signal has been stronger for over 12 months, proposing a kind of development route for the ability to encode individual memories for individual memories,” says Yates.
The work is spectacular, says Amy Milton, Neuroscientist of the University of Cambridge, UK. “It can’t be easy to obtain criminal children’s data. This idea admits that immature hypocampos is capable of making a kind of episodic memory encoding.”
Forgotten but not gone
It seems to remember adult disability, so how he retains memories of memory and retrieval traces or brain to retrieve the search terms. “It says Turk-Browne.
This could be that baby experiences are so different later, putting brains in context and classify what we hear and classify accordingly. “Although walking out of browsing changes the full view of the world,” says YATE.
Research in rats support the idea that childhood memories can paste our brains in years. In the 2016 study, neuroschenists used an optogenetics technique to activate neurons that encode children’s memories in adult rats, which show memories still exist, according to Turk-Browne. “We can’t do that in humans, but memories are the best evidence there.”
