A shared public library for brain atlas visualization
Brain atlases are essential for interpreting neuroimaging results, yet no publicly accessible, precomputed resource for comparing regions across atlases in 3D has existed — until now. SPINS provides interactive visualizations across gray matter, white matter, and functional labels.

Available atlases
brainCOLOR
Whole-brain parcellation covering cortical and subcortical structures across both hemispheres.
Yeo 17-Network
Resting-state functional network parcellation. 17 bilateral networks spanning the cortex.
Pandora TractSeg
White matter tract atlas from TractSeg. Individual tract bundles rendered as binary volumes.
AAL
Automated Anatomical Labeling atlas. Cortical gray-matter parcellation widely used in functional and structural neuroimaging studies.
Motivation
Reducing barriers in neuroimaging research
Brain atlases are essential for interpretation of results and communication, yet atlas choice can substantially affect research conclusions. Despite this, no publicly accessible, precomputed resource to compare regions across atlases in 3D has existed.
SPINS makes this comparison immediately accessible, with no software installation required. Each region page includes an AI-generated anatomical overview, rotating glass brain videos, and triplanar slice images.
