Do you have difficulty in remembering that Tay-Sachs disease is a
defect in Hexoaminidase A that leads to the accumulation of GM2
gangliosides in neurons and presents with neurodegeneration and
"cherry red spots"?

Memorize no more! Check out SketchyMed, a cartoon guide to the USMLE
Step 1, that integrates medical facts as pictorial elements. You can
retrieve difficult-to-remember facts just by conjuring an image.
Visit http://sketchymed.com/28.html for a cartoon on Crohn's disease
and many more!

Good luck in everyone's Step 1 studying!

Cute.... I'm sure it'll help people in basic sciences.

Famous Greek orators used to memorize hours' worth of rhetoric simply by picturing a walk through their villa, assigning a specific meaning with a specific object. Then they recall the entire speech by talking a visual walk through their home. The technique is called "locus recall", if I'm not mistaken.

I like to indulge in the artsy side for a reprieve from traditional, boring, memorization, which would have taken *hours* upon *hours* longer to remember disconnected facts.
