According to study in rats, people usually cannot remember their moment when they are 2-year- old, but with the right trigger it could be to re-remember because it still stays in our brains. Alessio Travaglia from New York University said that remembering our two or three years moments is rarely happen. Some opinions said that it is caused by the extraordinary development of new neurons which are disturb forming of early childhood brains. It occurrence is called infantile amnesia.
Travaglia and his colleagues believed that rats also bear infantile amnesia, as it they begun a study to the rats, 17-day-old rats, which is equal to a 2 to 3-year-old child. They found that after giving the rats several trigger, they could remember their moment again, it showed that with the right trigger, the lost memories could reactivate. They also compared the brains of young and adult rats, then found a moving of amount of several proteins in the hippocampus of rats caused by the increasing age ,and than find a essential protein called BDNF, when it was injected into young rats, they could keep their memories. However, Travaglia prefer to apply the discovering to the human. Beside it, Patricia Bauer from Emory university in Atalanta, and Jonathan Lee from University of Brimingham,UK, didn't agree that the discovering can apply to human, because between human and rats memories is totally different.
