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.

New Findings from Russian Academy of Sciences Update Understanding of Internet [Polymorphism of the maoa Gene (Rs1137070) and Internet Addiction In Adolescents]

Article Description
Abstract: Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) catalyzes the degradation of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, i.e., neurotransmitters involved in the pathogenesis of pathological addictions, including internet addiction (IA). Gene MAOA has been actively studied in terms of genetic predisposition to the development of aggressive behavior potentially involved in the formation of IA. The study included 602 adolescents (9–18 years old, mean age = 14.6, SD = 1.7) from the Angara-Yenisei macroregion (Russians n = 329, Tuvans n = 158, Khakasses n = 72, other populations n = 43). The type of IA was assessed according to the Chen scale (Chen Internet Addiction Scale, CIAS); gene polymorphism was detected using real-time PCR. The distribution of the TT genotype of MAOA rs1137070 polymorphism associated with low activity of the monoamine oxidase A enzyme and aggressive behavior affected by IA was found to be significantly higher in Tuvan adolescents compared with Russian ones (31.1/21.2% p = 0.02). Pathological internet addiction (more than 65 points on the Chen scale) is often observed among Khakass adolescents compared to Russian ones (26.4/15.5%, p = 0.03). Thus, the allelic variant T of MAOA rs1137070 polymorphism appears to be a potential marker for dependent and aggressive behavior to form, Asian representatives being more susceptible to the development of pathological addictions than Russian adolescents.
