Term ID

GO:0010977

Synonyms

• growth cone collapse
• negative regulation of neurite biosynthesis
• negative regulation of neurite development
• negative regulation of neurite formation
• negative regulation of neurite growth

Definition

Any process that decreases 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).
