The cost of remembering: engram competition as a flexible mechanism of forgetting
The retention and use of long-term memories is crucial for adaptive behavior. While stable memories help organisms anticipate outcomes, they may become maladaptive if not updated to reflect new condit...

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Hippocampal encoding of memories in human infants
Humans lack memories for specific events from the first few years of life. We investigated the mechanistic basis of this infantile amnesia by scanning the brains of awake infants with functional magne...

Nice article about what LIP colleague @sarahdpower.bsky.social and others are up to! 🧸
Are your earliest childhood memories still lurking in your mind—or gone forever?
Studies of “infantile amnesia” find that memory works differently in the developing brain

Using my first blue sky post to share my PhD work with @tjryan.bsky.social is finally out! 🐭 We discovered that male offspring in an immune autism model do not experience infantile amnesia 🧠
Immune activation state modulates infant engram expression across development
Infantile amnesia suppresses the expression of memory engram ensembles and is modulated by maternal immune activation experience.
