専門家s have 発射 負かす／撃墜する （人命などを）奪う，主張するs by celebrities that they can remember incredibly 早期に life experiences 含むing 存在 in the womb.

Empire actor Terrence Howard 宣言するd during an interview on Joe Rogan's podcast that he remembers 'the whole nine' months of 存在 in utero and even '存在 compressed' and 'want[ing] to panic' during his own birth.

Actor Nicholas Cage made 類似の （人命などを）奪う，主張するs earlier this month.

While there are a 100 or so people with a 条件 that gives them a photographic-like memory of their very 早期に childhood,?all four 専門家s DailyMail.com spoke to said remembering 存在 in the womb or 存在 born is 'impossible.'

Human babies are 'やめる neurologically 未開発の and not 有能な of memory,'?Robert Friedland, professor of neurology at the University of Louisville, told DailyMail.com.

'Memory systems in the brain are not working 井戸／弁護士席 until several years of age,' he 追加するd.?

Howard （人命などを）奪う，主張するd he remembered 存在 'six months, maybe, inside the womb.'

'And I'm like, "Okay, don't forget I'm here, don't forget, don't forget, don't forget,"' he told Joe Rogan.

He continued: 'You go to sleep. You wake up again.?Now something's moving in 前線 of you and you're like, "Oh, that's my friend."

'But I had a different 指名する for it - I didn't know it was my 手渡す.'

'You remember coming out?' an amazed Rogan went on to ask.

'I remember 存在 compressed and you want to panic,'?Howard replied.

'But you're flooded with some serotonin and dopamine, to where you feel relaxed and you go 権利 支援する to sleep.?

'And you remember 存在 born,' he 追加するd, （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that he also 解任するs 存在 circumcised.

But the reality is the 大多数 of us will never remember anything before the age of three, Dr Dung Trinh, an 内部の 薬／医学 内科医 in California and 長，指導者 officer of the Health Brain Clinic, told DailyMail.com.

This is 予定 to something called 'infantile amnesia,'?Dr Trinh said, where most of the memories before then are lost.

'When we're born, the size of our brain is probably a ４半期/4分の1 of the size of an adult brain,' Dr Trinh said.

As the brain develops, it creates new brain 独房s at a 早い pace, which 混乱に陥れる／中断させるs earlier memories and overwrites them.

Most of our memories are formed and 蓄える／店d in the hippocampus.

'At birth, the hippocampus is still not fully developed,' Dr Trinh said, meaning it cannot 成し遂げる the important 機能（する）／行事s of memory retrieval until years later.

As for remembering 存在 in the womb, 'that's certainly not a 事例／患者 that I've come across or heard of,' he said.

Other brain 地域s are 伴う／関わるd in memory 同様に, such as the prefrontal cortex, said Dr Aaron Reuben,?a neuropsychologist and PhD 候補者 at Duke University.

Like the hippocampus, 'this is not 十分に developed to 援助（する） in the 貯蔵 and retrieval of memories for several years,' he told DailyMail.com.

The brain structure for emotional memory, the amygdala, is more developed than the structure for episodic memory, Dr Trinh said.

'Maybe it's possible to remember 確かな emotions 大（公）使館員d to your birth, but again, that's also rare,' he said.

This means that an emotionally 重要な event like a traumatic birth may 影響する／感情 the way a child behaves later in life, にもかかわらず them not 存在 able to remember the event itself, Dr Trinh said.

But it is 極端に ありそうもない that you would remember anything from the womb, he 追加するd.

Actor Nicholas Cage also （人命などを）奪う，主張するd he could 解任する seeing '直面するs in the dark' while he was still in his mom's womb when asked about his earliest childhood memory on The Late Show With?Stephen Colbert?earlier this month.

The Hollywood 星／主役にする explained: 'I know this sounds really far out and I don’t know if it’s real or not, but いつかs I think I can go all the way 支援する to in-utero and feeling like I could see 直面するs in the dark or something.

'I know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like maybe it happened.'

Dr Reuben was not 納得させるd.?

'While learning does happen very 早期に, 潜在的に in the womb, the ability to consciously 解任する sights, sounds, and experiences later in life relies on a 円熟した hippocampus,' he said, which newborn babies do not have.

At one point, Howard cla imed 存在 able to remember 存在 in his mother's womb - echoing 主張s made by fellow actor Nicolas Cage on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last month

The 59-year-old?Hollywood 星／主役にする explained: 'Let me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out and I don’t know if it’s real or not, but いつかs I think I can go all the way 支援する to in-utero and feeling like I could see 直面するs in the dark or something'

高度に Superior Autobiographical Memory, or HSAM, is the ability to 正確に remember 詳細（に述べる）s of daily experiences that took place over many previous １０年間s.

The 条件 was only discovered in 2000 and is still 貧しく understood.

Becky Sharrock, 34, Australia's only know 事例／患者 of HSAM, （人命などを）奪う，主張するs to remember the day she was born, and the '激しい curiosity' she felt as a newborn baby.?

'There is a recollection I have which I'm assuming was my birth. I 設立する myself just wrapped in a 一面に覆う／毛布 and then having my ankle clipped with a tag,' she told 60 Minutes Australia.

'Of course that can't be 100 パーセント proven to 懐疑論者／無神論者s,' she said.

'I had 激しい curiosity. I didn't know the word curiosity as a baby but I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to know everything about everything. I was probably about 5,000 パーセント more curious than I am now.'

This is 'more feasible', Dr Trinh said. 'The brain is 明白に more developed after birth than 存在 in the womb. I think it's rare, but probably feasible.'

Another argument for why we cannot remember our births is because autobiographical memories 要求する a sense of self, which we don't develop until around age two.

'We have no 手がかり（を与える） what's going on when we're first born,' Dr Trinh said.

Dr Keith Vossel, neurologist at the University of California Los Angeles, 追加するd: 'We 港／避難所't developed any 肉親，親類d of language 過程ing 技術s or any 肉親，親類d of sense of ourselves at that 行う／開催する／段階 where there's autobiographical memory that can be created.'

Dr Vossel said that Howard and Cage may instead be 解任するing '誤った memories' from a 'vivid dream.'

'Some 誤った memories can be created through dreaming,' he said. 'Because sleep is important for making new 強固にする／合併する／制圧するing new memories, it can also be a time in which we create new memories that are 誤った.?

'It may be that he is remembering a vivid dream that he had had in the past and has created a reality around that. It's been 報告（する）／憶測d that that can occur,' Dr Vossel 追加するd.

Cage did 収容する／認める, 'I don't even know if I remember 存在 in utero.'?

Dr Reuben told DailyMail.com: 'It is perfectly possible and やめる ありふれた for 偽の memories to be "implanted" in our memory system.?

'In essence, we can have やめる vivid memories of thi ngs that never happened ? all we have to do is imagine it often enough.'?

The memory of 存在 in the womb may feel real to Howard and Cage, Dr Vossel said, because 'they've experienced it over and over in their mind, and?

'It is essentially a memory that feels real to them. and so they've experienced that over and over in their mind. And so it becomes a reality and a truth to that person.'?

Howard and Cage may want to believe they can remember their own births, and may want to impress an interviewer or fans with their rare experience.

'[Wanting to sound 利益／興味ing] could be a 動機づけるing factor,' Dr Vossel said.

Dr Trinh said 確定／確認 bias - the 傾向 to search for or 解任する （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） in a way that 確認するs one's 事前の beliefs - is 'certainly possible' in Howard and Cage's remembering of their in utero experiences.

'We really can't 証明する either way. Because 非，不，無 of us is around at anyone's birth and we don't remember own own.'
