Term Name: neuron projection development
Synonyms: neurite biosynthesis, neurite development, neurite formation, neurite growth, neurite outgrowth
Definition: The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron projection over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites (collectively called neurites).
