Drosophil-Anki

Ethan Chen (@ethanwchen)

An Anki add-on where the fly in the corner is not a mascot: it runs a slice of a real connectome as a live spiking simulation while you review. A card's note id activates olfactory neurons, a sparse set of Kenyon cells responds, Good and Easy fire the reward PAM neurons while Again fires the punishment PPL1 neurons, and the Kenyon-cell-to-MBON synapses rewire the way a real fly's do. The male fly runs MaleCNS and the female runs the FlyWire connectome. Sync replays a whole review history through the brain in seconds, and hovering names the neuron and transmitter under the cursor.
