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
This chapter surveys developmental observations indicating the occurrence of target derived signals that permit a neuron to survive at and beyond a critical time in its life course. It introduces and illustrates the concepts of a trophic drive responsible for both survival and growth supportive production, and of specifying influences that signal the cell to proceed (or do away) with selected performances. With that conceptual background, the chapter examines, in detail, two examples of factors directed toward neurons. The first is a group of target-derived agents recently shown to promote survival and/or neurite growth in cultured ciliary neurons. The second is the classic nerve growth factor, including the mechanisms through which it may exercise its trophic functions of sensory and sympathetic neurons. The chapter also explores some signals and mechanisms for neurite growth. It discusses whether the concepts regarding the regulation of older cells apply during earlier phases of their life, before they connect with their target or even acquire a postmitotic neuronal identity.
