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 reviews the studies examining the mechanisms whereby NGF (nerve growth factor) regulates gene expression in developing and mature sympathetic neurons. These studies demonstrate that NGF specifically up-regulates the expression of a subset of genes important to the growth and differentiation of neonatal sympathetic neurons, including those encoding the p75 NGF receptor, Tα1 α-tubulin, and tyrosine hydroxylase. These increases are independent of neuronal survival, and occur in a graded fashion at concentrations of NGF that preclude simple models based upon activation of the trkA NGF receptor alone. Furthermore, the magnitude of the increases in gene expression is a function of the spatial location of the increased NGF, with NGF exposure on distal axons eliciting less of an increase than NGF exposure on cell bodies. These studies also indicate that such NGF-induced changes in gene expression are not limited to developing neurons; increased NGF derived from the terminals of mature sympathetic neurons in vivo distally increases synthesis of the p75 NGF receptor relative to the trkA receptor, leading to an increased density of p75 NGF receptors on terminal neurites.
