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.

Review Description
In this review, the information available from the literature and the data obtained by the author about the epiphysis (or the pineal gland), an important neuroendocrine organ, and about its main hormone, melatonin, are summarized. The history of studying the epiphysis and the evolutionary aspects of its activity, anatomy, and physiology are discussed. The results of electrophysiological studies are described, and biochemical aspects of the epiphysis activity are analyzed. The pathways through which photoinformation enters the pineal gland, and external factors regulating its functioning are described in detail. The data on the physiological effects produced by epiphyseal neurohormones (melatonin is the best studied) and their role in formation of different types of behavior are emphasized. ©1998 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
