Abstract

Inhibitory interneurons, which use GABA and/or glycine as their principal transmitter, have numerous roles in regulating the transmission of sensory information through the spinal dorsal horn. These roles are likely to be performed by different populations of interneurons, each with specific locations in the synaptic circuitry of the region. Peripheral nerve injury frequently leads to neuropathic pain, and it is thought that loss of function of inhibitory interneurons in the dorsal horn contributes to this condition. Several mechanisms have been proposed for this disinhibition, including death of inhibitory interneurons, decreased transmitter release, diminished activity of these cells and reduced effectiveness of GABA and glycine as inhibitory transmitters. However, despite numerous studies on this important topic, it is still not clear which (if any) of these mechanisms contributes to neuropathic pain after nerve injury.

Attention Score in Context

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 08 April 2015.
All research outputs
#15,328,338
of 22,797,621 outputs
Outputs from Handbook of experimental pharmacology
#394
of 647 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#208,934
of 353,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Handbook of experimental pharmacology
#42
of 65 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,797,621 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 647 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% 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 353,063 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 65 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
