mongodb - how to find and then aggregate

I have collection that contains documents with below schema. I want to filter/find all documents that contain the gender female and aggregate the sum of brainscore. I tried the below statement and it shows a invalid pipeline error.

db['!all'].aggregate({ $and: [ {'GENDER' :  'F'} , {'DOB' : { $gte : 19400801, $lte : 20131231 }} ]  }, { $group : { _id : "$GENDER", totalscore : { $sum : "$BRAINSCORE" } } } )

Schema:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("53f63fc8f2b643f6ebb8a1a9"),
    "DOB" : 19690112,
    "GENDER" : "F",
    "BRAINSCORE" : 65
},
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("53f63fc8f2b643f6ebb8a1a2"),
    "DOB" : 19950116,
    "GENDER" : "F",
    "BRAINSCORE" : 44
},
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("53f63fc8f2b643f6ebb8a902"),
    "DOB" : 19430216,
    "GENDER" : "M",
    "BRAINSCORE" : 71
}

You have to use $match:

db['!all'].aggregate([
  {$match:
    {'GENDER': 'F',
     'DOB':
      { $gte: 19400801,
        $lte: 20131231 } } },
  {$group:
     {_id: "$GENDER",
     totalscore:{ $sum: "$BRAINSCORE"}}}
])

Outputs:

{ "_id" : "F", "totalscore" : 109 }

Sample working query :

db.getCollection('NOTIF_EVENT_RESULT').aggregate([
{$match:
    {'userId': {'$in' : ['user-900', 'user-1546']},
    'criteria.operator': 'greater than', 'criteria.thresold' : '90', 'category' : 'capacity'}
},
{"$group" :  {_id : {userId:"$userId"}, "count" : { "$sum" : 1} } }
])
