China’s CRISPR babies, whose genes had been edited before they were implanted, might have been turned into little Einsteins by accident. As a result of deleting the gene CCR5, making them HIV-resistant,

the twin babies might have received enhanced cognition and memory as well.

Now, new research shows that the same alteration introduced into the girls’ DNA, deletion of a gene called CCR5, not only makes mice smarter but also improves human brain recovery after stroke, and could be linked to greater success in school.

“The answer is likely yes, it did affect their brains,” says Alcino J. Silva, a neurobiologist at the University of…
