Brain atlases like the Allen Mouse Brain Common Coordinate Framework (CCFv3) are essential tools to guide the integration of different sources of neuroscience data. In this study, we introduce a novel method for curating brain atlas regions that leverages the strength of Houdini and Python software. This approach combines industry-standard graphic libraries with a dynamic user interface. Anatomists can interactively visualise, slice, annotate and analyse brain regions with high reproducibility. In Houdini, readability and traceability are ensured by simultaneously displaying results as a 3D ob
