Abstract: Brain atlases help researchers and clinicians understand brain structure, interpret results, and communicate findings. However, no publicly accessible, precomputed resource currently exists for comparing regions across brain atlases in 3D. To address this gap, we introduce a resource that systematically visualizes regions across atlases, lowering barriers for researchers and clinicians to explore and communicate brain anatomy. We developed an automated pipeline that renders brain regions across multiple atlases, including gray matter, white matter, and functionally relevant regions. Our website offers page-based navigation of 210 regions, each featuring an AI-generated overview, multiple glass brain videos, and tri-planar visualizations. The complete visualization library is open source and freely accessible at https://masilab.github.io/SPINS/.
