Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The relationship of microglia to senile plaques was investigated by culturing glial cells derived from neonatal rat brain on cryostat sections of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or control brain. Rat microglia were identified by their uptake of DiI-acetylated LDL. Plaques were colocalized using Thioflavin-S staining. Although the number of microglia attached to AD tissue sections did not differ significantly from the number on control brain tissue, the density of microglia on senile plaques was significantly greater than on nonsenile plaque areas of the same sections. These results suggest that microglia may have a higher affinity for senile plaques than for nonsenile plaque regions of AD brain tissue and are consistent with the hypothesis that microglia respond to plaques.
