fafbseg.flywire.NeuronCriteria#

class fafbseg.flywire.NeuronCriteria(*, regex=False, case=False, verbose=True, dataset=None, annotation_version=None, materialization=None, **criteria)[source]#

Parses filter queries into root IDs.

This class is typically passed as an argument to a function and will then be automatically converted into a list of root IDs.

Filtering for multiple criteria is done using a logical AND, i.e. only neurons that match all criteria will be selected.

Not providing any criteria will return all neurons in the hierarchical annotations table.

Parameters:

  • root_id (int | list of int) – List of root IDs to select. Note that root IDs are not checked for whether they actually existed at the requested materialization.

  • type (str | list of str) – Cell type(s) to select. Importantly this will search all *_type columns (e.g. cell_type, hemibrain_type). Note that you can also search against specific type columns directly (see examples).

  • side (str | list of str) – Side(s) to select.

  • nerve (str | list of str) – Nerve(s) to select.

  • flow (str | list of str) – Flow(s) to select.

  • super_class (str | list of str) – Super class(es) to select.

  • cell_class (str | list of str) – Cell class(es) to select.

  • cell_sub_class (str | list of str) – Cell sub class(es) to select.

  • ito_lee_hemilineage (str | list of str) – Hemilineage(s) to select.

  • morphology_group (str | list of str) – Morphology group(s) to select.

  • fbbt_id (str | list of str) – Virtual Fly Brain ID(s) to select.

  • community_annotation (str | list of str) – Community annotation(s) to select. It is recommended to use regex=True to search for partial matches (e.g. “.*Mi1.*”).

  • regex (bool) – Whether to interpret string criteria as regex.

  • case (bool) – Whether to interpret string criteria as case sensitive.

  • annotation_version (str, optional) – Which version of the annotations to use. This should correspond to a tag (e.g. the “v1.1.0” release), a commit or a branch of the annotation repository (https://github.com/flyconnectome/flywire_annotations). If None, will use the latest tagged release.

  • materialization ("live" | "latest" | int | bool, optional) – Which materialization version to search. By default, this is set to None and will get automatically adjusted to reflect the materialization version requested by the function the NeuronCriteria is passed to.

  • dataset ("public" | "production" | "sandbox", optional) – Against which FlyWire dataset to query. If None will fall back to the default dataset (see also set_default_dataset()).

  • verbose (bool) – Whether to print information on which annotations were used.

Examples

>>> from fafbseg import flywire
>>> from fafbseg.flywire import NeuronCriteria as NC

Check which fields can be queried:

>>> NC.available_fields()
array(['root_id', 'flow', 'super_class', 'cell_class', 'cell_sub_class',
       'cell_type', 'hemibrain_type', 'ito_lee_hemilineage',
       'hartenstein_hemilineage', 'morphology_group', 'top_nt',
       'known_nt', 'side', 'nerve', 'fbbt_id', 'status', 'type',
       'community_annotation'], dtype='<U23')

Fetch all types for DA1 projection neurons (this searches all type columns):

>>> filter = NC(type='DA1_lPN')

Search specifically for a hemibrain type:

>>> filter = NC(hemibrain_type='DA1_lPN')

Search for multiple cell types:

>>> filter = NC(type=['DA1_lPN', 'DA1_vPN'])

Search for all ORNs:

>>> filter = NC(type='ORN_.*', regex=True)

Search for all ORNs on the left side of the brain:

>>> filter = NC(type='ORN_.*', side='left', regex=True)

Search for all neurons with a given community annotation:

>>> filter = NC(community_annotation='.*Mi1.*', regex=True)

Note that for community annotations you likely want to use regex to search for partial matches.

NeuronCriteria can also be passed directly to functions that accept multiple root IDs:

>>> cn = flywire.get_connectivity(NC(hemibrain_type='DA1_lPN'))
Found 15 neurons matching the given criteria.
Using materialization version 783.
>>> cn.head()
