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.

Article Description
Pair bond formation depends vitally on neuromodulatory signaling within the nucleus accumbens, but the neuronal dynamics underlying this behavior remain unclear. Using in vivo Ca imaging in monogamous prairie voles, we found that pair bonding does not elicit differences in overall nucleus accumbens Ca activity. Instead, we identified distinct neuronal ensembles in this region recruited during approach to either a partner or novel vole. The partner-approach neuronal ensemble increased in size following bond formation and differences in the size of approach ensembles for partner and novel voles predicts bond strength. In contrast, neurons comprising departure ensembles do not change over time and are not correlated with bond strength indicating that ensemble plasticity is specific to partner approach. Further, the neurons comprising partner and novel approach ensembles are non-overlapping while departure ensembles are more overlapping than chance, which may reflect another key feature of approach ensembles. We posit that the features of the partner approach ensemble and its expansion upon bond formation make it a potential key substrate underlying bond formation and maturation.
