Memorize the Brain

Studying for the AP psych test? The EPPP? Frustrated? Pulling your hair out trying to memorize what the medulla does, or what the difference is between an MRI and a PET?

This app has ALSO been used by students studying for the GRE and CLEP test as well as biology and anatomy tests - any test that requires students to memorize the key parts of the brain, neurons, neurotransmitters or brain scans.

There is no other app like this one. Developed by a Ph.D. psychologist, psychology teacher and host of extremely popular The Psych Files podcast, this app will help you remember the parts of the brain, the neurons, brain scans, and neurotransmitters in minutes - not hours.

• 35 mnemonics (including parts of the neuron, 4 neurotransmitters and 5 types of brain scans)

• An audio option for on-the-go listening!

• An index to quickly find what you’re looking for

Over a hundred thousand students of psychology, nursing, biology and other majors have use these mnemonics to quickly memorize the parts - and function - of the brain, neurons, and neurotransmitters.


Created by a college psychology professor and host of The Psych Files podcast.
