Neurons do not typically divide like other cells because they are post-mitotic, meaning they have exited the cell cycle and do not undergo mitosis. Instead, they are produced from neural stem cells during neurogenesis, primarily in early development. While some regions of the adult brain, like the hippocampus, can generate new neurons through a process called neurogenesis, this is limited and does not involve typical cell division. Neurons can, however, grow and form new connections through processes like synaptogenesis and dendritic branching.
