Yoga for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Therapeutic Effects, Mechanisms, and Applications in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) represent a growing global health concern with no definitive cure. Increasing evidence suggests that mind-body practices like yoga may offer neuroprotective benefits by modulating stress, neuroinflammation, and neuroplasticity. This narrative review explores the clinical outcomes, mechanistic insights, and biomarker evidence supporting yoga as a therapeutic intervention for AD and PD. Different studies...
Explaining the Secondary Transfer Effect: The Role of Personality Factors
The secondary transfer effect (STE) is based on the idea that contact with a primary outgroup may shape attitudes towards secondary outgroups uninvolved in the contact setting. Most research has investigated attitudes towards the primary outgroup as a mediator of the STE. We conducted one correlational and one three-wave longitudinal study with Italian participants (Total N = 912), to test whether the secondary transfer effect can be explained at least partly by personality change. Specifica...
Auxin-mediated seed germination and crosstalk with other phytohormones
Seed germination is a critical and highly regulated process that transitions a dormant seed to an actively growing seedling. This process plays a vital physiological role in regulating seedling establishment, plant growth, and development, while ecologically it shapes species distribution patterns, drives plant population dynamics, and influences ecosystem productivity. Seed germination is tightly controlled by various environmental and intrinsic factors, with phytohormones acting as primary med...
The Influence of Nonlinear Pedagogy Physical Education Intervention on Cognitive Abilities in Primary School Children: A Preliminary Study
Background/objectives: The study aims to experiment with a teaching methodology based on the application of some principles of Nonlinear Pedagogy (NLP) in order to understand its effectiveness not only on motor development but also on attention and processing speed. Methods: A between-subjects quasi-experimental design involved 165 children (mean age = 7.21 ± 0.93 years), assigned to an experimental (n = 98; 45% Male and 55% Female) and control group (n = 67; 42% Male and 58% Female) over 16 wee...
Sufficient Standardization? Evaluating the Reliability of an Inertial Sensor (BeyondTM) for Ankle Dorsiflexion After a Brief Familiarization Period
(1) Background: Ankle joint range of motion is recognized as abnormal in individuals with ankle sprains and Chronic ankle instability (CAI), especially in the dorsiflexion movement. This research investigated the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the Motustech Beyond IMU for dorsiflexion movement following only one hour of rater training and familiarization. (2) Methods: In total, 62 subjects were evaluated for the inter-rater reliability and test-retest with a one-week interval. The in...

Networking e InternazionalizzazioneL'ateneo promuove la presenza di ricercatori e docenti internazionali per attività di didattica e di ricerca attraverso specifici finanziamenti per la mobilità in ingresso degli ospiti internazionali.
Un Visiting Professor è un docente o ricercatore di alto livello proveniente da un'istituzione straniera, invitato per un periodo limitato a svolgere attività accademiche.
Annualmente vengono pubblicati i bandi "Visiting" ricompresi all'interno del Programma di internazionalizzazione di ateneo che finanziano soggiorni di ricerca e/o di didattica a Verona, oltre che l'attribuzione di interi insegnamenti a docenti internazionali. Inoltre, i Dipartimenti dispongono di appositi finanziamenti, finalizzati ad accrescere la dimensione internazionale della didattica all'interno dei Corsi di studio, anche attraverso la partecipazione di docenti provenienti da atenei europei ed extra-europei.
