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.

Artifact Description
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are enzymes responsible for terminating cyclic nucleotide signaling. Neuropsychiatric patients such as those with Alzheimer’s disease show a dysregulation of cyclic nucleotides as well as a dysfunction in the ventral hippocampus (VHIPP) region of the brain which is responsible for social behavior and memory. Phosphodiesterase 11A4 (PDE11A4) occurs primarily in the VHIPP. Previous research has shown that BALB/cJ mice show higher levels of PDE11A4 protein expression in both dorsal hippocampus (DHIPP) and VHIPP as well as more expression in the membrane relative to C57BL/6J mice. The aim of this research is to a) determine the mRNA expression of PDE11A4 in these two mice strains by in situ hybridization of the hippocampus using a PDE11A4 probe. Results indicate greater PDE11A4 mRNA expression levels in BALB/cJ mice compared to C57BL/6J only in the DHIPP unlike previous research that found differences in both the DHIPP and VHIPP; b) to determine the effects of a coding difference at Residue 499 on subcellular localization by microscopy of HEK293T cells and protein quantification of COS 1 cells. Microscopy analysis and Western Blot results show that BALB/cJ mice have a higher membrane fraction of PDE11A4 relative to C57BL/6J mice, similar to previous research that showed a higher membrane fraction in BALB/cJ mice.
