Summary:
- The article discusses a study that used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe the formation of memories in the brains of infants as young as 5 months old.
- The study found that infants' brains show distinct patterns of activity when they recognize objects they have seen before, indicating that they are forming memories of those objects.
- The findings suggest that the brain's memory systems are already active and functional in the first year of life, providing insights into the early development of memory and cognition in human infants.
