Decode any neuroscience paper
in 30 seconds.
Synaptify turns dense primary research into plain-English you can trust — with verbatim source quotes, a 3D brain that lights up the regions involved, a mechanism breakdown, and a methodology trust score for every study.
The single most important takeaway, no hedging.
Cells, circuits, and signaling explained — with the named pathways.
Sample size, study design, peer-review status, and honest caveats.
The neural decoder, end to end.
Six purpose-built surfaces that turn a 12,000-word paper into something you actually read.
A 2-sentence bottom line at the top of every paper. Skim it in 5 seconds, decide if it's worth more time.
How the effect actually happens in the brain — the cells, circuits, and named neurotransmitters or pathways.
What this means for sleep, productivity, mental health, learning, or aging — when the paper supports it.
A 0–100 trust score derived from sample size, study design, and peer-review status. Caveats included.
Click any region to see what it does in general — and what this specific paper measured, manipulated, or concluded.
Toggle Deep Dive for inline tooltips on every technical term and a sidebar dictionary that updates per paper.
Paste. Parse. Understand.
From DOI or PDF to a fully decoded paper in under a minute.
Paste a DOI, drop a PDF, or search PubMed inside the app. We parse the full text locally before anything is sent.
The model pulls bottom-line, mechanism, methodology, glossary, brain regions, and verbatim supporting quotes — never invented.
Switch between Plain English, Curious teen, and Domain expert. The 3D brain and Jargon Buster update with you.
Built for everyone the brain belongs to.
A first-generation college student, a curious parent, a clinician, and a sitting senator should all be able to use and trust it.
Skim 30 papers a week without missing the methodology.
Triage adjacent fields in seconds. Verbatim quotes keep you honest.
Pull mechanism + caveats into a 60-second patient explanation.
Cite the paper, not the press release. Trust scores flag preliminary work.
Questions, answered.
Does Synaptify make things up?
No. Every brain-region paragraph is paired with a verbatim quote from the paper. If the model can't find a supporting line, the quote is left blank — never invented.
How is the trust score calculated?
Sample size, study design, and peer-review status are each weighted, then bucketed into High / Moderate / Limited / Preliminary. Caveats are surfaced explicitly so you can disagree.
What sources does it use?
PubMed for retrieval and metadata, Semantic Scholar for citation counts and influential paper graphs, and the original DOI / PDF as the only source for the analysis itself.
Is my PDF private?
PDFs are parsed in your browser. Only the extracted text is sent to the model for analysis — never the file itself.
Can I save what I read?
Yes. Every analyzed paper auto-saves to your Library. Open Settings to tune your reading level or curate your feed by interest.
