Have you guys learnt about the role of endogenous pacemakers in the regulation of the menstrual cycle? We only got taught it in relation to the sleep-wake cycle, however I was wanting to learn it to add more content. The problem is I don't really understand the studies I have found that apparently link in!

we were taught about the SCN etc for sleep wake cycle and also the hormones in the menstrual cycle. Then evaluated it by saying how it could be entrained by exogenous zeitgebers.

Yeah you see this one is purely on endogenous pacemakers, and I struggled to find research but due to not learning it don't really understand it well enough to evaluate it. IDA points are a problem too

Hello, I have just received my PSYA4 mock back and was wondering if anyone would mind marking this (8+16) marker on one biological and one psychological therapy of schizophrenia. I'm interested to see what others would give it. I'm happy to mark anyone's essays for them in return too!

I'm doing the same topics as you apart from Perception, I'm doing Gender (possibly the most sleep inducing topic).

Just be glad that you're not doing perception! That stuff is ridiculously hard to remember!!

Haha true, gender isn't particularly difficult just tediously dull! Sleep and bio rhythms is probably the most challenging. Have you started revision yet?

Almost the same, but relationships instead of perception! I'm also retaking PSYA1 to boost my grade :smile:
