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
Persistent alcohol seeking despite the risk of aversive consequences is a crucial characteristic of alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Therefore, an improved understanding of the molecular basis of alcohol seeking despite aversive stimuli or punishment in animal models is an important strategy to understand the mechanism that underpins the pathology of AUDs. Aversion-resistant seeking (ARS) is characterized by disruption in control of alcohol use featured by an imbalance between the urge for alcohol and the mediation of aversive stimuli. We exploited C. elegans, a genetically tractable invertebrate, as a model to elucidate genetic components related to this behavior. We assessed the seb-3 neuropeptide system and its transcriptional regulation to progress aversion-resistant ethanol seeking at the system level. Our functional genomic approach preferentially selected molecular components thought to be involved in cholesterol metabolism, and an orthogonal test defined functional roles in ARS through behavioral elucidation. Our findings suggest that fmo-2 (flavin-containing monooxygenase-2) plays a role in the progression of aversion-resistant ethanol seeking in C. elegans.
