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
Background: Frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) is the most common epilepsy syndrome in the pediatric population; however, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the children with FLE is frequently normal. We use both cortical thickness and brain volume measurements to report on cortical changes in children with FLE. Our aim was to determine cortical thickness and brain volume changes on 3 Tesla MRI of children with FLE and normal brain magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: Twenty-seven children with FLE and 27 healthy controls received brain magnetic resonance imaging. Cortical thickness and regional brain volumes were assessed using three-dimensional volumetric T1-weighted imaging and patients were compared with controls. Results: In children with FLE, statistically significant (p < 0.05) cortical thinning were found in the bilateral middle frontal gyrus, bilateral occipitotemporal and medial lingual gyrus, left subcallosal gyrus, left short insular gyrus, and right long insular gyrus. Statistically significant volume reductions in right and left hemisphere cortical white matter, total cortical white matter, bilateral thalamus, bilateral putamen, bilateral globus pallidus, right caudate nucleus, brain stem, and right cerebellar cortex were found. Conclusion: Cortical thinning in frontal and extra-frontal lobes and volume loss in a variety of brain regions were found in children with FLE.
