Brain atlases enable researchers to focus their investigations on specific anatomically defined brain regions and are used in many MRI applications like fMRI, morphometry, whole brain spectroscopy, et cetera. Despite their great use and numerous variants they usually consist of rigid predefined brain regions with a given level of detail often degrading them a non-ideal tool in special research topics. We present a GUI application which allows researchers to easily create mouse brain atlases with an adjustable level of detail and coverage to match specific research questions.
