    1. The gross anatomy lecture “ANAT 6110 L08 Brachial Plexus.pdf” is dragged from Chrome’s downloads onto Synaptic Recall’s upload page, with only Anki selected.
    2. The lecture uploads and Dr. Synapse starts building the deck, counting cards as they are written.
    3. The deck is ready: 30 cards from the lecture, with a Download Anki button.
    4. A card from the deck opens in Anki: “A 70-year-old woman falls onto her shoulder and fractures the surgical neck of the…”
    5. Show Answer reveals: “Axillary nerve (C5–C6)”
    6. The key term “deltoid” opens its definition: Triangular muscle capping the shoulder; it abducts the arm from about 15° to 90°.
    7. Dr. Synapse explains: “The axillary nerve wraps around the surgical neck with the posterior circumflex humeral artery, so a fracture there can stretch or tear it.…”
    8. Anki scrolls down to the lecture slide the card came from: “Axillary Nerve (C5–C6) and the Surgical Neck”.
    9. The view moves onto the slide and a gold box marks the line the answer came from: “Lesion → weak deltoid: abduction lost from 15° to 90°, flat shoulder”.
    10. End card: “Your anatomy lecture, as Anki cards”, an Upload now button, and “3 free credits · no card needed”.

    Brachial plexus, the night before the practical

    Anki cards that take forever to make, or giant premade decks that don’t include everything on your professor’s slides.

    This deck is built from one of your own anatomy lectures, so you start with exactly what your course covers.

    What every card includes

    We build your deck directly from your source material, so you can spend that time actually practicing active recall.

    • The right number of cards for the material, not one per bullet point
    • The right question for each fact, worded so you can’t answer it by recognition
    • The slide it came from on the card, so you know exactly where the information is
    • A dropdown with a further explanation
    • Key terms highlighted, with what each one means and where the word comes from

    Ready for Anki

    Active recall means trying to answer a question from memory before checking the answer, and Anki gives you that practice one question at a time.

    The deck downloads as an .apkg file that Anki imports.

    How it works

    Upload one lecture as a PDF or PowerPoint.

    The system is three simple steps you do for every one of your lectures:

    • Understand the why behind the information: the Story
    • Memorize with active recall: the Anki deck
    • Apply it to real exam questions: the practice exam
