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
Evidence implicating myelin related genes in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia is accumulating. Abnormalities of brain structure at the onset of psychosis may be related to variation in genes such as myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG). Subjects with first episode schizophrenia (n = 30) or schizoaffective disorder (n = 11), and healthy comparison subjects (n = 43) participated in an MRI scan. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs720309, rs720308) in the MAG gene were genotyped. MAG genotype variation predicted cortical gray matter volume in first episode schizophrenia patients (p = 0.039), but not in controls (p = 0.827). Cortical gray matter, total gray matter, total white matter, and ventricular cerebrospinal fluid volumes did not differ between groups. Genetic variation in the MAG gene may predict cortical gray matter volume differences in patients in the first episode of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008.
