| Abstract |
Cerebral malaria (CM) is one the major complications occurring during malaria infection. The mechanisms leading to this syndrome are still not completely understood. Although it is clear that parasite sequestration is the key initiation factor, the downstream pathological processes are still highly debated. The experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) model, in which susceptible mice are infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA, has led to the identification of CD8(+) T cells as the major mediator of ECM death. In this review, we discuss the recent advances and future developments in the understanding of the role of CD8(+) T cells in CM. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 18 March 2015.
All research outputs
#20,265,771
of 22,796,179 outputs
Outputs from Seminars in Immunopathology
#474
of 546 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,475
of 260,871 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Seminars in Immunopathology
#9
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,796,179 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 546 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 260,871 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
