If you search OntTerm(label='hippocampus')
you will got find results because label only returns exact matches does not search synonyms, OntTerm(term='hippocampus')
will find 3 results. If you searched with term= and did not that is quite strange and I would want to know more.
One query pattern that I use frequently is to progressively broaden your search like this:
OntTerm(label='brain')
OntTerm(term='brain')
OntTerm(search='brain')
Another pattern is to start broad and become more narrow:
OntTerm(term='brain')
OntTerm(label='brain')
(brain is not actually a case where either of these patterns are useful).
As a side note hippocampus
without any qualifiers is one of the go to examples where the meaning of a term can vary significantly between fields.
Thanks for clearing that up. Huh, interesting, I didn't know "hippocampus" was so contentious! That's why I like that the Allen Brain Atlas shows you an image of the region when you select terms.
'brain' and 'hypothalamus' work, but 'hippocampus' doesn't get any results. Do you know why that might be?
