Why don’t we remember being babies? Science has an answer

We all experience infantile amnesia, meaning we can't remember our very first years. Although babies do create lasting memories, adults find it tough to recall them. The hippocampus and developing neural connections are crucial for these early memories. Brain development throughout childhood also influences how long these memories remain accessible.
