General Information
Term neuron projection extension ID (Ontology) GO:1990138 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Long distance growth of a single neuron projection involved in cellular development. A neuron projection is a prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite.[ PubMed:22790009 ]
Also Known As "neuron process extension" ; "neuron protrusion extension" ; "neuronal cell projection extension"
