For a long time, we have been taught that neuron cells do not divide.
However, lately, research seem to indicate that certain neurons that do divide (cycle), die soon after. This event appears to take place before the appearance of other markers of the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
You may want to read up on the following articles, and perhaps search for others to completely understand the issue.
