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
Immunohistochemistry for substance P (SP) in the rat thymus revealed fine varicose neural profiles in specific regions of the thymus. Thymic SP innervation was abundant within the capsule and interlobular septa. The majority of SP+ nerve fibers within the septa were free of vascular association, although some fibers were associated with the vasculature deep within the septa. SP+ nerve fibers entered the thymic cortex from the septa and distributed among cortical thymocytes and mast cells. Along the corticomedullary junction, SP+ nerve fibers were found in association with the vasculature. The medullary region of the thymus received only a sparse innervation of SP+ fibers. In addition, SP+ nerve fibers coursed adjacent to OX-8+ cells and mast cells in the extrathymic connective tissue surrounding the thymus. The present study provides evidence that SP is present in nerve fibers in the thymus, and may be available to interact with thymocytes, mast calls, and other cells in the thymus, and affect their development and function.
