In particular, genetic factors can moderate the sensitivities of specific types of neural cells or circuits mediating the imprinting of the environment on different biological systems. In this current review, we wish to analyze …

Straining at work and its relationship with personality profiles and individual consequences in healthcare workers (HCWs)

2020
