Scientists discover why growing up, man forgets his early childhood - the happiest moments of life and serene - and why he will never be able to remember them.

This psychological phenomenon is called infantile amnesia Sigmund Freud: its essence lies in the fact that due to the rapid growth of the memory cells in the brain in the first years of life are destroyed key link between these cells. As a result, people lose access to some departments memory, respectively, and stored in their memories.

On the Canadian Conference on Neuroscience has also been suggested, why do bad children develop long-term memory of the kids remember the events of no more than two months ago. According to the couple, Paul Frankland and Tires Jocelyn (Paul Frankland and Sheena Josselyn) from the University of Toronto, in adolescents and adults synaptic connections of the brain are more stable, which allows to store and recall information.

It turned out that this is related to the child's development of speech - to memorize words needed more and more new "reserves" memory.
