Term Name: axonogenesis
Synonyms: axon growth, axon morphogenesis, neuron long process generation
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.
