General Information

Term

neuron apoptotic process

ID (Ontology)

GO:0051402 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

Any apoptotic process in a neuron, the basic cellular unit of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the nervous system.

Also Known As

"apoptosis of neuronal cells" ; "apoptosis of neurons" ; "neuron programmed cell death by apoptosis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
