Abstract

At the present time, there is enormous interest in methods of non-invasive brain stimulation. These interact with ongoing neural activity, mainly in cerebral cortex, and have measureable effects on behaviours in healthy people. More intriguingly, they appear to have effects on synaptic plasticity that persist even after stimulation has ceased. This has led, as might be expected, to the proposal that brain stimulation methods might be therapeutically useful in rehabilitation. The rationale is that physical therapy involves learning new patterns of activity to compensate for those lost to the stroke. Enhanced "plasticity" produced by brain stimulation might increase the ability to learn and enhance therapy. However, if things really were as simple as this, brain stimulation would be on its way to becoming a standard addition to treatment in all departments of rehabilitation. The fact that this has not happened means that something is not quite correct. Is the theory untenable, or are the methods of stimulation suboptimal?

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 05 January 2017.
All research outputs
#18,504,575
of 22,925,760 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,319
of 4,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#310,475
of 420,298 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#327
of 482 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,925,760 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,956 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% 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 420,298 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 482 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
