If memories are stored as electromagnetic particles, shouldn't we be able to
detect a magnetic field arising from brain cells (eg by seeing if brain
samples attract/repel a compass placed near this sample?)
And shouldn't that attraction/repulsion be greater for adult brain tissue
than
children's tissue because adults have more memories than children?

Re above:
This is a rather sound observation. However, the marvel of the neurons
is that they can retain such memory pieces despite such ordinary
measures to erase them. But, as the infamous CIA-sponsored Montreal Dr.
Cameron was doing, with repeated electroconvulsive shocks, the poor
patients' memories were wiped out: de-programmed, showing that with
unusual electromagnetic efforts, our memories can be so erased, thus
once more attesting to the electromagnetic nature of memories.
