Synaptic Recall

    Physiology Flashcard Generator

    Physiology flashcard generator: upload your physiology lecture and get an Anki deck built from it.

    Every card shows the slide it came from, so you know exactly where the information is.

    1. The physiology lecture “KINE 3310 Lecture 7 - The Action Potential.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: 31 cards from the lecture, with a Download Anki button.
    4. A card from the deck opens in Anki: “A neuron has just fired an action potential.”
    5. Show Answer reveals: “Its voltage-gated Na⁺ channels are inactivated.”
    6. The key term “absolute refractory period” opens its definition: The interval after an action potential begins when no stimulus, however strong, can trigger another.
    7. Dr. Synapse explains: “Inactivation gates close moments after Na⁺ channels open and reset only once the membrane repolarizes. Until then no stimulus, however…”
    8. Anki scrolls down to the lecture slide the card came from: “Refractory Periods”.
    9. The view moves onto the slide and a gold box marks the line the answer came from: “Absolute: Na+ inactivation gates are shut → no stimulus, however strong, fires another AP”.
    10. End card: “Physiology flashcards from your lecture”, an Upload now button, and “3 free credits · no card needed”.

    Your physiology lecture, not a premade deck

    Premade decks are good, but they’re built for everyone.

    This deck is built from one of your own physiology 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
