Data Pipeline
Each node in the following diagram represents the analysis code in the workflow and the
corresponding tables in the database. Within the workflow, Element Optogenetics connects
to upstream Elements including Lab, Animal, and Session. For more detailed
documentation on each table, see the API docs for the respective schemas.
