Remember to participate in the WPA

Workplace assessment 2019 (WPA) was kicked off on Monday 25th February. Therefore, Arnold Boon encourages all employees to take the questionnaire that has been sent out.

The researchers are also looking into whether there are differences between those participants who were themselves musicians and those who did not play music. The most notable difference was that when the musicians were asked to assess when they had a desire to move to a piece of music, they preferred the medium complexity to a greater extent than the non-musicians.

We dance when the music is funky enough

How groovy are you on the dance floor depends on both the chords and the right rhythm, which should be neither too simple or too complicated. This is shown by research carried out by the Center for Music in the Brain at Aarhus University. This knowledge may in the long term help the rehabilitation of people suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

The effects and mechanisms of metformin in response to renal disease.

Researchers scan the entire genome of a large number of people with autism and a large number of healthy control subjects. When a genetic variation is significantly more frequent in people with autism than in the healthy control group, it is possible to conclude that the variant increases the risk of suffering from the disorder.

First common risk genes discovered for autism

A study headed by researchers from the Danish project iPSYCH and the Broad Institute, USA, has found the first common genetic risk variants for autism and uncovered genetic differences in clinical subgroups of autism. The discovery means that we will in future be able to determine the genes which separate the diagnostic groups, make more precise…
