A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

A recent study in mice suggests that microglia, immune cells found in the brain, may play a role in early memory loss, or ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Measles is more than a rash, runny nose and a fever — it can cause brain swelling, blindness and wipe out the immune system’s memory, leaving unvaccinated children, and even adults, vulnerable to ...
