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
The representation of orientation information in the adult visual cortex is plastic as exemplified by phenomena such as perceptual learning or attention. Although these phenomena operate on different time scales and give rise to different changes in the response properties of neurons, both lead to an improvement in visual discrimination or detection tasks. If, however, optimal performance is indeed the goal, the question arises as to why the changes in neuronal response properties are so different. Here, we hypothesize that these differences arise naturally if optimal performance is achieved by means of different mechanisms. To evaluate this hypothesis, we set up a recurrent network model of a visual cortical hypercolumn and asked how each of four different parameter sets (strength of afferent and recurrent synapses, neuronal gains, and additive background inputs) must be changed to optimally improve the encoding accuracy of a particular set of visual stimuli. We find that the predicted changes in the population responses and the tuning functions were different for each set of parameters, hence were strongly dependent on the plasticity mechanism that was operative. An optimal change in the strength of the recurrent connections, for example, led to changes in the response properties that are similar to the changes observed in perceptual learning experiments. An optimal change in the neuronal gains led to changes mimicking neural effects of attention. Assuming the validity of the optimal encoding hypothesis, these model predictions can be used to disentangle the mechanisms of perceptual learning, attention, and other adaptation phenomena.
