Well, the human body contains a lot of neurons. Neurons also send signal to other neurons. so i don't think that neurons divide, but what i do know is that our neurons in the brain starts to develop during Embryonic development. i hope this help you with your question.

Nerve cells don't divide due to an absence of tubulin protein in the nerve cell. The nerve cell's connections are critical for thought and memory. To divide they'd have to lose the connections.
