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
Using immunohistochemical methods, actin and fimbrin were identified and localized in vestibular epithe-lia in the normal guinea pig and in the waltzing guinea pig. In the normal guinea pig, actin was found in the stereocilia and in the cuticular plate. Fimbrin was detected in the stereocilia but surprisingly not in the cuticular plate. As firnbrin was found in the cuticular plates in cochlear hair cells it is suggested that the hair cells in the two organs have different mechanoreceptor properties which can demand different cuticular plate stability. In the waltzing guinea pig, actin was found in the stereocilia, in the rod and in the cuticular plate. Fimbrin was seen in the stereocilia and in the rod, but could not be detected in the cuticular plate. These results emphasize the resemblance between the rod and the stereocilia. It is suggested that the rod is a genetically induced pathological intracellular type of stereocilium which grows in an uncontrolled manner. © 1983 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
