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.

Review Description
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) transiently induces an electrical field in the tissues beneath the area of application, thereby perturbing local cortical activity if applied over the scalp. It can therefore be used to modulate cerebellar function in healthy humans. Even though the role of the cerebellum in eye movement control and adaptation is well known, few experiments have used eye movements to evaluate the effect of TMS over the cerebellum. Single-pulse TMS over the posterior vermis resulted in impaired accuracy of reflexive saccades, acceleration of smooth pursuit, and coordination of saccades and head movements. TMS over the cerebellar hemisphere decreased pursuit gain. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) over the posterior vermis impaired saccade adaptation in a double-step paradigm. Comparing the effects of TMS on different behavioural paradigms could be useful to test cerebellar control of reflexive and voluntary eye movements, and as a probe of cerebellar plasticity. rTMS appears to be especially interesting since its effects outlast the stimulation period and its behavioural consequences can therefore be measured without interfering with the execution of eye movements or with the experimental procedures. © CIC Edizioni Internazionali.
