Why don't brain cells divide as frequently as other cells in the body?

Brain cells, also known as neurons, do not divide as frequently as other cells in the body because they are specialized and have limited regenerative capacity. Neurons are essential for transmitting information in the brain, and their complex structure makes it difficult for them to divide and replicate like other cells. Additionally, excessive cell division in the brain can disrupt the delicate balance of neural connections and impair brain function.

How many cells does the brain have?

The adult human brain typically contains around 86 billion nerve cells, or neurons. Additionally, the brain contains other types of cells called glial cells, which may outnumber neurons by up to 10 to 1. Overall, the brain is composed of a vast network of cells that work together to control bodily functions and processes.
