There are two studies indicating that CCR5 suppression improves fear/context memory in mice. There is also HIV-related dementia in humans. However, i dont think anyoen has studied significant memory effects in humans with a naturally defunct CCR5 gene. It is a stretch to extrapolate the mice results in humans, and He did not say that this was one of the goals of his study. His goal was to prevent HIV infection.

- duxup 8y agoI don't know about his possibility of success or even learning anything, but just it being a remote possibility to me doesn't rule out the possibility that he was looking to see if he could impact memory. I suspect any human enhancement type work will be highly experimental the first few (or more) rounds.
