You lived your first years on Earth… so why is it all blank? If you love brain
mysteries like this, subscribe now for daily mind-blowers. Did you know your brain physically
couldn’t store long-term memories as a baby? This phenomenon is called infantile amnesia.
The hippocampus—the part of your brain responsible for forming memories—was still under construction.

On top of that, language plays a huge role in memory, and without words, memories don’t get
“saved” properly. So those first laughs, steps, and moments happened—but your brain never
hit the save button.
