A new fMRI study reveals that babies as young as 12 months can encode memories, contradicting theories that memory formation ...

Infants can form memories, and they use a memory structure in the brain called the hippocampus to do it, researchers report in the March 21 Science. The results shore up the idea that memories can in ...

MRI scans show that the brains of infants and toddlers can encode memories, even if we don’t remember them as adults.

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to ...
