# Selecting Parcellation Maps # Selecting Parcellation Maps
On the bottom left of the viewer, you find selectors for choosing the species, reference space, and parcellation map. The latter two are shown only if more than one option is available.

When selecting a species, a default reference space and parcellation will be automatically preselected.
If you switch to a different reference space, `siibra-explorer` will first check if a map of the currently selected parcellation is available for the chosen space. If it is not, you will be asked to select a different parcellation.
Vice versa, when selecting a different parcellation which is not available in the currently selected reference space, you
Maps from the Multilevel Human Atlas can be available in different reference spaces and resolutions: We provide volumetric (ICBM 2009c nonl asym, MNI Colin 27), high-resolution volumetric (BigBrain) and surface-based (fsaverage) reference spaces. If you change the reference space, you might need to change the parcellation, if it is not mapped in the selected reference space. The system will give you the advice.

An overview and the basic functionalities of siibra-explorer is presented in the quick tour, which is automatically launched on first use. You can always revisit the quick tour via the help menu, which can be found under the `?` icon at the top right of the UI, or using the `?` / `h` keyboard shortcut.

You might also watch the following video tutorial, which covers basic functionalities of `siibra-explorer`. Note that since we are continuously adding new features to `siibra-explorer` however, the user interface shown in the video might not exactly reflect the latest version of the viewer.

siibra-explorer is a browser based 3D viewer for exploring brain atlases that cover different spatial resolutions and modalities. It is built around an interactive 3D view of the brain displaying a unique selection of detailed templates and parcellation maps for the human, macaque, rat or mouse brain, including BigBrain as a microscopic resolution human brain model at its full resolution of 20 micrometers. `siibra-explorer` is a browser based 3D viewer for exploring brain atlases that cover different spatial resolutions and modalities.

By selecting brain regions or zooming into user-defined regions of interest, you can find and access data features from different modalities which have been linked to the respective locations in the brain, including structural and functional connectivity, histological features such as cell and neurotransmitter densities, 2D and 3D images, and gene expressions. This way siibra-explorer allows you to explore and study brain organization in many different facets.

siibra stands for "software interfaces for interacting with brain atlases" and includes a suite of tools of which siibra-explorer is the most immediate and intuitive entry point. If you are into programming and reproducibility however, don't miss [siibra-python](https://siibra-python.readthedocs.io) which provides all the functionality of the explorer (and more) in Python.
