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.

Book Chapter Description
The cell membranes of neurons and muscle cells are electrically excitable. These cells can produce electrical impulses called action potentials that propagate along the cell membrane without change in amplitude. Nonexcitable cells produce only local voltage changes that dampen within short distance from their origin. Electrical excitability is dependent on expression of voltage-gated ion channels that pass ion currents across the cell membrane. Acute decreases in temperature impede conduction velocity and increase the duration of action potentials with consequent slowing of neuromotor and cardiac functions. Thermal acclimation counteracts acute temperature effects via increases in number of channels and by differential expression of temperature-specific isoforms of ion channels. Less is known about temperature adaption of excitability at an evolutionary timescale, but it seems to be stronger in neurons than skeletal muscle cells.
