Turn your brain regions notes into a concept map
Paste your neuroanatomy notes, lecture slides, or a textbook PDF and get an editable map of the lobes, brainstem, and cerebellum that you can explore branch by branch. Start free, no credit card needed.
How a brain regions concept map helps you study
Your neuroanatomy chapter already names every region, so the hard part is sorting them. DeckOwl turns your notes or PDF into a concept map of brain regions with the lobes as main branches and their functions as sub-branches.
- Lobes as main branches, with functions and key structures underneath
- Editable nodes so you can match the map to your course outline
- Explore the map node by node to check what you remember
- Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, and photos of diagrams
Map from your own material
Upload a PDF, slides, or typed notes and get a mind map built from the regions your course actually covers.
Editable and explorable
Rename branches, move structures under a different lobe, and collapse sections as you review.
Study in the browser
The Free plan includes 3 generations per month. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, and Anki.
How it works
Add your notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, or paste text from your neuroanatomy lecture.
Review the map
Check the lobes, brainstem, and cerebellum branches and edit anything that does not match your course.
Explore and test yourself
Click through each branch and recall its functions before you check the answer.
Each branch stays editable, so you can rename a structure, move it under a different lobe, or add a detail your instructor stressed. Once the map is ready, you can explore it node by node to test recall before an exam.

Frequently asked questions
How many brain regions should a concept map include for an intro course?
Most intro courses cover the four lobes, the brainstem, and the cerebellum, so about 6 to 8 main branches is a good start. Add sub-branches only for structures your instructor tests on.
What is the best way to study brain regions with a concept map?
Start with the major lobes and link each one to its functions, then add structures like Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Test yourself by hiding branches and recalling them from memory.
Can I export my brain regions map?
Export is a paid feature. The Free plan lets you study maps in the browser, while Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of textbook pages?
Yes, images of pages are read with text recognition, so you can photograph a diagram's labels or a page of notes. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month.
