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.

Review Description
Tinnitus is the phantom perception of sounds occurring in the absence of an external auditory stimulus. Tinnitus: [1] effects 50 million individuals, [2] often results from acoustic trauma and, [3] is very often exacerbated under stressful conditions. Tinnitus may result from lesions occurring at any location in the auditory system, but its mechanisms are poorly understood. Evidence is provided supporting an endogenous dynorphin-mediated potentiation of glutamate excitotoxicity at cochlear Type-I auditory dendrites that may well exacerbate chronic subjective neural-generated tinnitus during periods of heightened stress. The proposed mechanism is based on the following: [1] lateral efferent olivocochlear (LEOC) axon terminals contain endogenous dynorphin neuromodulators and are presynaptic to cochlear Type-I auditory dendrites that bear both κ-opioid and N -methyl- d -aspartate (NMDA) receptors/binding sites; [2] the release of presynaptic LEOC dynorphins is likely to be triggered by sympathetic stress via the locus coeruleus; [3] sodium salicylate induces an acute excitotoxicity by potentiating glutamate neurotransmitter effects at cochlear NMDA receptors, resulting in a Type-I auditory neural-generated tinnitus; [4] dynorphins participate in central NMDA-receptor-mediated excitotoxic inflammation; and [5] κ-opioid receptor ligands also modulate Type-I auditory neural activity by potentiating glutamate at cochlear NMDA receptors. A stress-activated release of dynorphins into the cochlea could potentiate the already excitotoxic effects of glutamate, producing: [1] hyperacusis, together with an acute exacerbation of [2] chronic aberrant Type-I neural activity and [3] a worsening of the activity-dependent central auditory neural plasticity changes that must certainly generate the perception of tinnitus. Treatment options are discussed.
