Our physiology prof is a nice enough guy and is clearly an intelligent person. The problem that I'm having (along with some other students) is the content of his lectures. I'm wondering just how much of his material is going to be board relevant.
Some examples of topics we've learned:
Mechanist-Vitalist Controversy (Descartes, Aristotle, Darwin)
Memory Storage - Karl Lashley
Phrenology - Franz Gall
The Function of Zeitgeibers and biological rhythms
Sleep Cycles
REM vs Non REM sleep
Associative and Non-associative learning (habituation, imprinting, sensitization, etc)
Maybe I'm wrong (and I often am), but these things seem more like Psychology, or at best, Psychobiology and will never be on our COMLEX boards.
