That's awesome. I've seen a bunch of people complaining recently that the series isn't doing anything that interesting or is moving too slowly, but this should wake everybody up. The only thing that could make this chapter greater is if Nobara was in it.
No wonder Gojou took so much liking in Yuji - his mothers is GetoMommy face

I think the twist is that Noritoshi Kamo (Pseudo-Geto, the imposter or brain-kun, you decide which name you like the best hehe) was possessing his mom body at the time she gave birth to him. My assumption is she is the woman named Kaori, she died and brain-kun possessed her body to proceed with some experiments. This bring us back to the first two chapters/episodes when Sukuna asking himself who is this boy. Wish I could give you a better explanation, but I'll wait for the next chapters before I formulate a better answer. For the moment, I hope this suffices.
It doesn't have to match up exactly to real world science but he could have had Yuji be like a 2 year, watching them converse from far and it would have worked better, but that's just me. It would have also lined better with the evidence found in studies and/experiments. The issue is the implied age of Yuji, being less than a year old. The fact that the memory in and of itself isn't traumatic, it's just adults talking and at the time Yuji's brain wouldn't have registered the dialogue as traumatic since he wouldn't been able to understand what they were even saying. There were no exclamation marks used so doesn't seem like they were raising their voices, although there is one panel that gives the Grandpa an expression that he might have been speaking louder than normal. But that's speculative since Yuji's mom would probably have heard more of the conversation (but who's to say how much she did in fact hear). There is also the issue of how detail the recollection of the memory was from so long ago. There are more aspects in terms of the science but that would just be rambling. It's ultimately not that big of deal, Gege isn't the first mangaka to have wonky science and he won't be the last.
Again, we can't apply real world logic as something valid to a fictional work. I know every person is entitled to their opinions and I respect that, but take this pov into account. Even Jin (Yuji's father) talk about the fact that babies might remember more than what we think they would. Some adults yelling that his mom died isn't something light. Even if, again, you don't ignore the fact that Itadori Yuji isn't a normal person at all. His mother was possessed by some mysterious entity at that time and he is the perfect suited vessel for a thousand year old shaman turned cursed spirit.
Like I said I thought the chapter was good and that was just a detail I noticed because of my extensive background in science. The baby statement is an emerging theory and it doesn't relate to memories like this. A study like that would have essentially required a toddler to have experienced something and ask to recall the experience 15 - 16 years later in great detail. No such study exists to my knowledge.
