Finding mouse info (age, sex, strain, genotype etc)

I’m working with the allen neuropixels visual behaviour dataset. How can I search a mouses sex, age, genotype, and strain using its session id?

Hi @AngCamp – once you’ve created a VisualBehaviorNeuropixelsProjectCache object (instructions here), you can download the sessions table like this:

ecephys_sessions = cache.get_ecephys_session_table()

To obtain info about a specific session, you can query the sessions table as follows:

session_id = 1047969464
ecephys_sessions.loc[session_id]

which will print something like this:

behavior_session_id                                                    1048005547

Nevermind figured out the issue, first you run…

from allensdk.brain_observatory.behavior.behavior_project_cache import VisualBehaviorNeuropixelsProjectCache

cache = VisualBehaviorNeuropixelsProjectCache.from_s3_cache(cache_dir=sdk_cache_dir)

then…

cache.get_ecephys_session_table()

But the session Id’s I have are not working, and I got them from the brain observatory and functional connectivity so I’m not sure why they are not working. For instance…


cache = EcephysProjectCache.from_warehouse(manifest=manifest_path)
for sesh in os.listdir(abi_ripples_path):
    if sesh.startswith('swrs_session_'):
        sesh_id = int(sesh.split('_')[-1])
        print(sesh_id)
    else:
        continue
    #session = cache.get_session_data(session_id)
    print(ecephys_info_df[ecephys_info_df.index==sesh_id])

Returns the following…

Why are the session id’s not found in the dataframe?

The “Visual Behavior” and “Visual Coding” datasets each have their own set of session IDs, since they were collected independently of one another.

To get the info about all Visual Coding sessions (which includes the Brain Observatory 1.1 and Functional Connectivity datasets), your ecephys_info_df needs to be downloaded from the EcephysProjectCache like this:

ecephys_info_df = cache.get_session_table()
