Discovery

VFB integrates images and connectomics profiles of neurons from many sources. It classifies and records their properties using a standard, queryable classification. This standardises the names of neuron types across sources, so you don’t need to worry about differences in nomenclature uses and supports queries for neurons by their classification.

Required packages: vfb-connect and python-catmaid (pymaid & navis)

!pip install vfb-connect --upgrade
!pip install python-catmaid --upgrade

How to find neurons across datasets

VirtualFlyBrain integrates images and connectomics profiles of neurons from many sources. It classifies and records their properties using a standard, queryable classification (The Drosophila Anatomy Ontology). This standardises the names of neuron types across sources, so you don’t need to worry about differences in nomenclature uses and supports queries for neurons by their classification.

# Import libs and initialise API objects
from vfb_connect.cross_server_tools import VfbConnect
import pandas as pd
vc = VfbConnect()

import pymaid
import navis

navis.set_pbars(jupyter=False)
pymaid.set_pbars(jupyter=False)

# Connect to the VFB CATMAID server hosting the FAFB data
rm = pymaid.connect_catmaid(server="https://fafb.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/", api_token=None, max_threads=10)

# Test call to see if connection works 
print(f'Server is running CATMAID version {rm.catmaid_version}')

Finds neurons by type (classification) across datasets

We can use the vc.get_instances method in combination with the name of a neuron type on VFB to find individual neurons from multiple sources.

Use the search tool on VFB to find neuron types by name or synonym:

Use either the full name or the Symbol to query for neurons:

DA3adPN = vc.get_instances("adult Drosulfakinin neuron", summary=True)
pd.DataFrame.from_records(DA3adPN)

Find neurons by location

We can use the same method to search for neurons by location, using simple queries.

# Find neurons by location. The following query works across multiple data sources and both sides of the brain.  
# Results may be incomplete & may include minor overlap inferred from low synapse counts

neurons_in_DA3 = vc.get_instances("'neuron' that 'overlaps' some 'antennal lobe glomerulus DA3'", summary=True)
