No. When you are born, you have the most neurons you will ever have. Until you are in your early 20's your brain continues to "trim" neurons from your brain, a mechanism that aids in learning and development. After this point, as you age, you begin to lose neurons, simply from age. After brain development is complete in utero, there are only two locations in the brain that are capable of generating new neurons: the hippocampus (thought to play a role in learning new information) and the olfactory bulb (learning and recognizing new smells).

If structure is arraythen an individual array element can be accessed by writing a variable?

A structure is not an array. Individual array elements are accessed through a number, called a "subscript". This subscript can be a constant, or a variable, or any expression that can be evaluated to give an integer.A structure is not an array.
