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
Rationale: Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) belonging to the PDE4 family control intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by catalyzing its hydrolysis. Four separate PDE4 genes (PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, and PDE4D) have been identified. PDE4 has been reported to be involved in various central nervous system (CNS) functions including depression, memory, and schizophrenia, although the specific subtype mediating these effects remains unclear. Objective: To investigate the role of PDE4B in the CNS, PDE4B wild-type and knockout mice (C57BL/6N background) were assessed in a variety of well-characterized behavioral tasks, and their brains were assayed for monoamine content. Results: Knockout mice showed a significant reduction in prepulse inhibition. Spontaneous locomotor activity was decreased (16%) in knockout mice. Furthermore, when challenged with amphetamine, both groups of mice responded similarly to a low dose of d-amphetamine (1.0 mg/kg), but knockout mice showed an enhanced response to a higher dose (1.78 mg/kg). Decreases in baseline levels of monoamines and their metabolites within the striatum of knockout mice were also observed. PDE4B knockout mice showed a modest decrease in immobility time in the forced swim test that approached significance. In several other tests, including the elevated plus maze, hot plate, passive avoidance, and Morris water maze, wild-type and knockout mice performed similarly. Conclusion: The present studies demonstrate decreased striatal DA and 5-HT activity in the PDE4B knockout mice associated with decreased prepulse inhibition, decreased baseline motor activity, and an exaggerated locomotor response to amphetamine. These data further support a role for PDE4B in psychiatric diseases and striatal function. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
