Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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 mechanosensory innervation of the lobster (Homarus americanus) swimmeret was examined by electrophysiologically recording afferent spike responses initiated by localized mechanical stimulation of the caudal surface of the swimmeret. Two functional groups of subcuticular hypodermal mechanoreceptors innervate the swimmeret. Afferents of one group innervate the small discrete "ridges" of calcified cuticle lining the margins of both swimmeret rami. Putative ridge receptors are bipolar sensory neurons responding phasically to deformation of the ridge cuticle with the number and frequency of impulses produced dependent on stimulus strength and velocity. Afferents of the second group, which innervate substantial areas of hypodermis underlying the soft, flexible cuticular regions of the swimmeret, were designated "wide-field" hypodermal mechanoreceptors. These neurons have multiterminal receptive fields and respond phaso-tonically to cuticular distortion. The response properties of both types of hypodermal mechanoreceptors imply that they are activated during the characteristic beating movements of the swimmerets. © 1992 Springer-Verlag.
