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 length and distribution of Schwann cells along fibres in the ventral root L7 of the developing cat have been studied electron microscopically in serial sections. The average Schwann cell length at the beginning of myelin formation - the 'initial internodal length' - was 118 μm (110 μm in α-axons and 124 μm in γ-axons). The number of Schwann cells found in a fully developed root segment was already present at the beginning of the myelination. It showed no systematic age-dependent variation from the beginning of myelination to adulthood. The Schwann cells associated with α-axons increased their length 12.6 times during this period, while the root elongated 5.6 times. About 50% of the Schwann cells had to be eliminated in order to make the elongation of the remaining Schwann cells possible. Corresponding calculations from the mean length of Schwann cells associated with γ-axons, showed that about 50% too few Schwann cells were associated with the γ-axons during the period of initial myelination of the α-axons. At birth, when the myelination of γ-axons had just begun, both the large surplus along α-axons and the deficit along γ-axons had disappeared. We suggest that Schwann cells are eliminated from the α-axons and re-utilized along the γ-axons. During this process of cellular redistribution, affected cells constitute so-called aberrant Schwann cells. © 1987 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
