A new term suggestion from Paul Denny:
somatodendritic compartment ; GO:NEW
The region of a neuron that includes the cell body (cell soma) and the dendrite, but excludes the axon.
is_a: cell part ; GO:0044464
has_part: neuronal cell body ; GO:0043025
has_part: dendrite ; GO:0030425

Adding here for comments, thanks.
An interesting union term. Seems to work, but wouldn't it be somatodendritic?
According to the cell ontology 'Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites'. So an alternative arrangement could be to have neuronal cell body part_of somatodendritic compartment and dendrite part_of somatodendritic compartment.
Diff:
doh-not sure if thats an auto-correct error, or too much sema-signaling on the brain: I've updated the ticket.
The part_ofs look like they'd work. Should be is_a: neuron_part (GO:0097458) too, for a more specific is_a parent.
Yup, neuron part is better. Shall I add or do you still add terms?
I still edit so I'll add this in tomorrow when I'm back at my desk.... (i just make SF tickets for the ones that might not be straightforward or as reminders to me).
Added: somatodendritic compartment ; GO:0036477
Thx for adding this - Protein2GO doesn't recognise somatodendritic compartment ; GO:0036477 - should I ask Tony Sawford about this?
