Why don't we remember being babies?
Science Ask Us Anything Why don't we remember being babies? Yet we never forget how to ride a bike.

Are our childhood memories lost or locked? Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Was it a birthday party? Even though little kids remember plenty, most of us lose access to key memories as we get older. It's something scientists call childhood amnesia. We explore just that in a recent episode of the Ask Us Anything podcast, delving into the science behind why our brains forget our earliest memories. 's Ask Us Anything podcast (as well as our written series of the same name) answers your most outlandish, mind-burning questions--from the everyday things you've always wondered to the bizarre things you never thought to ask.

Why you never forget how to ride a bike
The brain stores skills differently than facts, making them harder to forget. More information Adding us as a Preferred Source in Google by using this link indicates that you would like to see more of our content in Google News results. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. There are some among us who can't remember which pants they wore yesterday or whether they have plans tonight. Take that person and put them on a bicycle, however, and if they had any kind of comfort level riding in the past, odds are, they'll have no trouble balancing and steering, even if it's been years--or decades--since their last ride.
I don't see images in my head. Can training give me a mind's eye?
I don't see images in my head. Can training give me a mind's eye? Training programmes for people with aphantasia - the inability to create mental images - are challenging neuroscientists' understanding of how we create thoughts What do you see when you try to picture an apple? Last December, I closed my eyes and tried to visualise a potoo. This tropical bird has a "round, kind of pill-shaped head", my mental imagery coach described to me, and is covered with brown feathers. Its cartoonishly large mouth opens like a gaping smile to reveal a pink, fleshy colour, and its large irises can make its eyes seem entirely black.

Major leap towards reanimation after death as mammal's brain preserved
Major leap towards reanimation after death as mammal's brain preserved A pig's brain has been frozen with its cellular activity locked in place and minimal damage. Could our brains one day be preserved in a way that locks in our thoughts, feelings and perceptions? An entire mammalian brain has been successfully preserved using a technique that will now be offered to people who are terminally ill. The intention is to preserve all the neural information thought necessary to one day reconstruct the mind of the person it once belonged to. "They would need to donate their brain and body for scientific research," says Borys Wróbel at Nectome in San Francisco, California, a research company focused on memory preservation.

The neuroscientist who wants us to be nicer to psychopaths
Abigail Marsh has found that many psychopaths don't want to be cruel and uncaring, and argues that they deserve support to help them get there Think of a psychopath and you probably picture someone dangerous, someone whose ruthless self-interest leads to great harm for others and considerable success for themselves. Perhaps unsurprisingly, while only around 1 per cent of people in the general population have psychopathy, roughly 1 in 5 men in prison show signs of it, and research has also found a link between corporate leadership and psychopathic traits . But just as it is painful to know a psychopath, it isn't necessarily fun to be one either. Abigail Marsh, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Georgetown University in Washington DC, studies those with psychopathic traits who largely lead ordinary lives among us. She has uncovered something surprising: many don't want to be psychopathic at all. Researchers are still honing the precise definition, but psychopathy is characterised by callousness, a lack of empathy, glib social charm and impulsivity.

A very serious guide to buying your own humanoid robot butler
You can now buy a humanoid robot housekeeper for less than the price of a second-hand car. But before splashing out, there's something you need to know Science fiction is strewn with humanoid robots, from bad-tempered Bender in to cunning Ava in . And it has long seemed like that's the natural home for such robots - on the screen and in books. The idea of a walking, talking, functioning robot with two arms and two legs has appeared to be a distant dream. Last year, machines ran, boxed and even played football at China's World Humanoid Robot Games, albeit sometimes falling over in the process . Meanwhile, companies have been readying their own range of humanoids that promise to do something a bit more useful: help around the house .
