The regrowth of axons following their loss or damage. Generation of a long process from a neuron whose cell body resides in the central nervous system. The process carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. Long distance growth of a single process. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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). Separation of axons away from a bundle of axons known as a fascicle. The process by which an axon recognizes and binds to a set of cells with which it may form stable connections. The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs when relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. The collection of axons into a bundle of rods, known as a fascicle. The process by which the structures of a neuron are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized cell is acquiring the specialized features of a neuron. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process by which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. The neurite development process that generates a long process of a neuron, as it invades a target tissue. The process by which outgrowths develop from the shafts of existing axons. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of axonogenesis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of axonogenesis. Generation of a long process from a neuron whose cell body resides in the peripheral nervous system. The axon carries action potential from the cell body towards target cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of axonogenesis, the generation of an axon, the long process of a neuron.
