A cartoon showing a middle-aged mouse at an office desk, remembering (in a thought bubble) a childhood birthday, with his parent bringing him a cake with a single candle; cartoon glial cells are controlling a cable that links to his early memories. Infantile amnesia is the global loss of episodic and contextual memories formed in early life. Image credit: Birte Doludda

Super excited to share my PhD work, out now in @Nature. Here, my fantastic coauthors and I delved into whether mice could form memories of temperature experiences. 🐭💭❄️
