new subtype of neuron projection

[gocentral]

Many insect neurons are mono-polar with a single projection that subsequently branches. We would like a term for the region of the projection between the cell body and this branching point. 'Primary neurite' is sometimes used for this, but this may be problematic as it is also used in vertebrate neurobiology to refer to the major axon of a multipolar neuron. My collaborators, Kei Ito and Nick Strausfeld suggest 'cell body fiber'. Would this be clear enough for GO? If not, do you have any suggestions.

Thanks David OS

Sounds fine. I've added 'cell body fiber' as GO:0070852.

If any ambiguity arises from other uses of the phrase 'cell body fiber', we can rename the new term to 'neuronal cell body fiber', or even 'unipolar neuronal cell body fiber', but I don't see any need to do so now.
