General Information
Term neuron fate specification ID (Ontology) GO:0048665 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a neuron in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway. Upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed.
