Yes, as neurons mature, they generally lose the ability to divide. Most neurons become post-mitotic, meaning they exit the cell cycle and do not undergo mitosis to produce new neurons. This characteristic is part of their specialization and function in the nervous system, although there are some exceptions in certain regions of the brain, like the hippocampus, where neurogenesis can occur throughout life.
