Neurons stop dividing shortly after birth. The reason is that a neuron's function depends on its state and the unique connections that it has formed with other neighboring neurons. All the neurons in your brain and their connections make up the neural network that defines who you are, your experiences, memories, skills etc. If neurons were to multiply, it would introduce arbitrary nodes and connections into that neural network, interfering with the way it has been trained to operate.
Neuron cells divide through a process called mitosis, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This allows for the multiplication of neuron cells in the brain. As these cells multiply, they form connections with other neurons, creating the complex network of the brain.
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
The cell body, also known as the soma, is the part of the neuron that functions in cell metabolism. It contains the nucleus and other organelles responsible for maintaining the neuron's metabolic functions.
Nerve cell or neuron
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.

A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon.

An example of a presynaptic cell is a neuron that releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic cell.
Motor Neuron
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
