Underdeveloped Brain Defense in Murder Case
20-year-old Joseph Koenig is charged with murder for killing Alexa Bartell by throwing a rock through her windshield on April 19, 2023; his defense argues his underdeveloped 18-year-old brain at the time of the crime should lessen the charge to manslaughter.

One-Year-Olds Can Store Memories: Study Challenges Common Belief
A study of 26 babies and toddlers (4 months to 2 years) found that one-year-olds show increased hippocampal activity when remembering images, suggesting memory storage begins earlier than previously thought. This challenges the common experience of not recalling very early childhood memories, highli...

Study Links Specific Genes to Brain Structural Changes in Dyslexia
Researchers using data from over a million people identified specific DNA mutations associated with dyslexia, revealing lower brain volume in speech and movement areas and higher volume in visual areas; this could lead to earlier diagnosis and targeted interventions.

Infantile Amnesia: Why We Forget Our Earliest Memories
Infantile amnesia, the inability to recall early childhood memories before ages two to three, affects most adults; however, research indicates that memories from this period are stored in the brain and shape future behavior and mental health, influenced by cultural and conversational factors.
