GO:0016358 | dendrite development | biological_process | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the dendrite over time, from its formation to the mature structure. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732, PMID:22683681] |
GO:0050807 | regulation of synapse organization | biological_process | Any process that modulates the physical form of a synapse, the junction between a neuron and a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell). [GOC:ai, GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
GO:0030425 | dendrite | cellular_component | A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:dos, GOC:mah, GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0060077 | inhibitory synapse | cellular_component | A synapse in which an action potential in the presynaptic cell reduces the probability of an action potential occurring in the postsynaptic cell. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef] |
GO:0007156 | homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules | biological_process | The attachment of a plasma membrane adhesion molecule in one cell to an identical molecule in an adjacent cell. [ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0098632 | cell-cell adhesion mediator activity | molecular_function | The binding by a cell-adhesion protein on the cell surface to an extracellular matrix component, to mediate adhesion of the cell to another cell. [Wikipedia:Cell_adhesion] |
GO:0007411 | axon guidance | biological_process | The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of an axon growth cone to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. [ISBN:0878932437] |
GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
GO:0030424 | axon | cellular_component | The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0070593 | dendrite self-avoidance | biological_process | The process in which dendrites recognize and avoid contact with sister dendrites from the same cell. [GOC:sart, PMID:17482551] |
