Graduate College of Biomedical Sciences news |

GCBS faculty Dr. Miou Zhou, collaborating with Dr. Alcino J. Silva and other researchers at UCLA and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), published the following paper in Nature:
Shen Y, Zhou M, Cai D, Filho DA, Fernandes G, Cai Y, Sousa A, Tian M, Kim N, Lee J, Necula D, Zhou C, Li S, Salinas S, Liu A, Kang X, Kamata M, Lavi A, Huang S, Silva T, Heo WD, Silva AJ. CCR5 closes the temporal window for memory linking. Nature May 2022 10.1038/s41586-022-04783-1
Real-world memories are formed in a specific context and are often not acquired or recalled in isolation. Dr. Zhou and co-authors found that C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5), an immune receptor that is well known as a co-receptor for HIV infection, plays an important role in the regulation of the association (or linking) of different memories acquired across time. Their findings provide insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that shape the temporal window for memory linking in young individuals and with aging.
