Nick Turk-Browne

Nick Turk-Browne, a Yale psychology and neuroscience professor, delves into the enigma of infantile amnesia—our inability to recall early childhood memories. He explores the role of the hippocampus in memory formation and discusses groundbreaking fMRI research on how infants begin to form episodic memories. Turk-Browne considers the implications of language and self-awareness in memory development, revealing how this phenomenon shapes our identities and challenges traditional views of early memory retention.
