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
The model described is an extension of a previous model of the optic tectum ( Arbib & Lara, 1982 ; Lara, Arbib & Cromarty, 1982 ; Lara & Arbib, 1982 ) and takes into consideration anatomical, physiological and behavioral studies in anurans, as well as earlier modelling efforts ( Ewert & Von Seelen, 1974 ; Didday, 1976 ). Computer simulations were conducted to analyze how interactions among retina, optic tectum and pretectum may give frogs and toads the ability to discriminate between prey and predator stimuli. Results from simulations have allowed us to reproduce empirical observations, to suggest new experiments, and to postulate what neural mechanisms might be involved in some phenomena related to prey-catching orienting behavior, with direction invariance of prey-predator recognition being a consequence of tectal architecture, and size preference and response latency depending on the motivational state of the animal.
