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
Conventional electron microscopy combined with cobalt staining techniques has revealed chemical synapses and gap junction-like areas denoting specific regions of contact between two large, uniquely identifiable visual interneurons in the brain of the locust itSchistocerca gregaria. The morphological demonstration of chemical synapses suggests that one of the two neurons, the 'descending contralateral movement detector', receives a chemically mediated input from its main presynaptic element, the 'lobula giant movement detector'. This observation supports recent electrophysiological studies demonstrating synaptic delays between the two cells, characteristic of chemical synapses. However, regions with the appearance of gap junctions are also observed. This corroborates earlier work which suggested that these two neurons are coupled electrically. © 1985 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
