General Information

Term

neuron projection arborization

ID (Ontology)

GO:0140058 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized into branches. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites.[ PubMed:17114044 PubMed:23270857 PubMed:23764288 ]

Also Known As

"neurite arborization" ; "neurite branching" ; "neuron projection branching"
