Abstract

The mechanism by which anaesthetic agents produce general anaesthesia is not yet fully understood. Retraction of neurites is an important function of individual neurones and neural plexuses during normal and pathological conditions, and it has been shown that such a retraction pathway exists in developing and mature neurones. We hypothesized that propofol decreases neuronal activity by causing retraction of neuronal neurites.

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 September 2008.
All research outputs
#17,285,668
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from BJA: The British Journal of Anaesthesia
#5,445
of 6,694 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#82,558
of 96,202 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BJA: The British Journal of Anaesthesia
#29
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,694 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% 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 96,202 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
