Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -86 billion neurons, and the same number of glia. Herculano-Houzel: The average that we have so far is a total of 86 billion neurons and just as many non neuronal cells which includes not just glial, but also the endothelial cells. The endothelial cells are probably around 20% of all the non neuronal cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the neurons in your brain were created before you were born. But some areas of the brain make new neurons after birth in a process called postnatal neurogenesis. A few areas, including the cerebellum and the prefrontal cortex, continue adding new neurons in infancy.
