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
Examination of neonatal Mongolian gerbil subcommissural organ (SCO) by freeze-fracture electron microscopy reveals that the epithelial layer (the ependyma) possesses distinctive and very complex tight junctions which connect the apical portions of adjacent ependymal cells. The tight junction network of the Mongolian gerbil is more extensive neonatally than in the adult, and is in general, more conspicuous than in other animal species. The consistent finding of such very complex tight junctions at the interface between the C.S.F. and the SCO suggests that the SCO ependyma, at least in neonatal Mongolian gerbils, might function as a tight epithelium with an ability to maintain steep solute gradients and high potential differences. The sealing-off of the SCO towards the C.S.F. (the C.S.F.-SCO barrier) and the effective blood-brain barrier in the organ (the blood-SCO barrier) might well be of functional significance, perhaps in relation to mechanisms involved in the control and/or detection of the stability of the internal environment of the brain. © 1979 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
