GO:0010976

Synonyms

• positive regulation of neurite biosynthesis
• positive regulation of neurite development
• positive regulation of neurite formation
• positive regulation of neurite growth

Definition

Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of neuron projection development. Neuron projection development is 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).
