| Abstract |
α-synuclein is a protein that plays important roles in cognitive function in the normal brain, although its exact role is not fully understood. However, current studies reveal that defects in α-synuclein function could contribute to various neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), a disease with symptomatic progression of deterioration in motor and cognitive function. Recent studies show that the level of α -synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is highly correlated with speed of cognitive decline, suggesting a potential role of α-synuclein in cognitive function. In this mini review, we will be focus on literatures of α-synuclein in cognitive function in the non-diseased brain, as well as the impact that defective α-synuclein has on cognition in disease brain. This will be accomplished by assessing the effects of soluble α-synuclein, α-synuclein oligomers, and extracellular α-synuclein transport, on neurodegeneration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 11 April 2015.
All research outputs
#4,835,823
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Translational Neurodegeneration
#233
of 384 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,800
of 278,367 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Translational Neurodegeneration
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 384 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 29.7. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% 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 278,367 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
