Name
neuronal cell body
Ontology

Definition
The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites. Source: GOC:go_curators
Comment
Note that 'cell body' and 'cell soma' are not used in the literature for cells that lack projections, nor for some cells (e.g. yeast with mating projections) that do have projections.
