| Abstract |
Although post-stroke emotional incontinence (EI) often occurs after lenticulocapsular strokes, what factors determine the development of EI in these patients has not been identified. I prospectively studied the development of EI in 25 patients (13 men and 12 women, mean age 58.5 years) with single, unilateral, first-ever stroke (24 infarcts and one hemorrhage) of < or = 2 cm in diameter at 2-6 months after the stroke. The patients with major depression were excluded. The lesion location was analysed by CT and/or MRI. The results showed that 13 patients (52 %) had post-stroke EI. The presence of EI was not related to age, gender, the presence of motor or sensory dysfunction, Barthel index score or the size and the laterality of the lesion. Among the lesions involving mainly the globus pallidus, dorsally located lesions were more often associated with EI than ventrally located ones. I conclude that EI is frequent in the patients with small lenticulocapsular stroke, more often associated with the lesions affecting the dorsal than the ventral part of the globus pallidus. The findings appear to be consistent with alleged chemical neuroanatomy that serotonergic fibers are particularly abundant in the internal globus pallidus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 June 2010.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neurology
#2,117
of 4,964 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#79,320
of 240,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neurology
#27
of 78 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,964 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.7. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 240,076 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 78 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
