Blue Brain SNAP

Blue Brain Simulation and Neural network Analysis Productivity layer (Blue Brain SNAP).

Blue Brain SNAP is a Python library for accessing BlueBrain circuit models represented in SONATA format.

Installation

Blue Brain SNAP can be installed using pip:

pip install bluepysnap

Usage

There are two main interface classes provided by Blue Brain SNAP:

Circuit corresponds to the static structure of a neural network, that is:

  • node positions and properties,

  • edge positions and properties, and,

  • detailed morphologies.

Simulation corresponds to the dynamic data for a neural network simulation, including:

  • spike reports,

  • soma reports, and,

  • compartment reports.

Most of Blue Brain SNAP methods return pandas Series or DataFrames, indexed in a way to facilitate combining data from different sources (that is, by node or edge IDs).

Among other dependencies, Blue Brain SNAP relies on Blue Brain Project provided libraries:

  • libsonata, for accessing SONATA files

  • NeuroM, for accessing detailed morphologies

Tools

Blue Brain SNAP also provides a SONATA circuit validator for verifying circuits.

The validation includes:

  • integrity of the circuit config file.

  • existence of the different node/edges files and components directories.

  • presence of the “sonata required” field for node/edges files.

  • the correctness of the edge to node population/ids bindings.

  • existence of the morphology files for the nodes.

This functionality is provided by either the cli function:

bluepysnap validate my/circuit/path/circuit_config.json

Or a python free function:

from bluepysnap.circuit_validation import validate
errors = validate("my/circuit/path/circuit_config.json")
