Term Information

Accession
GO:0007409
Name
axonogenesis
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
axon morphogenesis, neuron long process generation, axon growth
Alternate IDs
GO:0007410
Definition
De novo generation of a long process of a neuron, including the terminal branched region. Refers to the morphogenesis or creation of shape or form of the developing axon, which carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells.

Comment
Note that 'axonogenesis' differs from 'axon development' in that the latter also covers other processes, such as axon regeneration (regrowth after loss or damage, not necessarily of the whole axon).
