Our recent target article on the allocation of attention to action (herein called the AAA model; Franz, 2012) considered implicated subcortical processes and networks in people with intact corpus callosum (CC) and people without a CC due to commissurotomy or callosotomy. However, a small error in print-namely that the term "commissurotomy" was printed in place of "callosotomy" in some instances-led us to further explore whether any key functional roles have been attributed to the two primary cortical commissures (the anterior and posterior commissures) which remain intact in people with callosotomy, and if so, whether those would be relevant to our current AAA framework. Although existing evidence is sparse, here we consider the hypothesis that the anterior commissure (AC) is a remnant fiber tract which has been largely replaced with evolution of the CC (and we do not herein discuss the posterior commissure further). Indeed, a dearth of studies is available on the AC, calling the need for further research. Herein, we briefly review literature on the AC in humans and then propose a method that might be worthwhile to pursue in future studies.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 19 December 2021.
All research outputs
#6,020,164
of 22,721,584 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#8,557
of 29,531 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#57,321
of 227,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#127
of 348 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,721,584 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 29,531 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
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 227,063 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 348 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
