PHYSCI C126
Biological Clocks
Description: Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Requisites: courses 111A and 111B, or M180A and M180B. Most organisms, including humans, exhibit daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. In many cases these rhythms are generated from within organisms and are called circadian rhythms. Biological basis of these daily rhythms or circadian oscillations. Exploration of molecular, cellular, and system-level organization of these timing systems. Temporal role of these variations in maintaining homeostatic mechanisms of body and impact on nervous system. Concurrently scheduled with course C226. Letter grading.

c127 neuroendocrine of reproduction. Interesting Course. I liked the material. Arnold gives some lectures. And faculty from the medical school gives other lectures. Grading wise, get wrecked. Not a class if you're looking for an easy A course. Just take c152 or the class taught by Edgerton if you have a tight quarter. This class fucked up my GPA right before I sent out medical school apps, and regreted taking it over Edgerton's course. One midterm and one final. Typical physci exam and is graded up the ass.

Winter 2025 - This class was very useful for my studies, and although I really struggled with the quizzes we had in discussion (it took until week 9 or 10 for me to get full credit on one), the midterm I did about average (in person test, closed notes) which was 85, and the final was very similar to CM123 in which we are given prompts and we choose one or two of them and create an experimental study to answer the prompt. The professor was very funny and very helpful throughout the course. I was able to enroll in this class even though I hadn't taken the required courses, and although it wasn't the best idea, I was able to do well by dedicating a lot of time to rewatching the lectures and taking notes again to prepare for the quizzes each week.
