Mature, differentiated neurons do not divide (undergo mitosis), but apparently there is a small population of self-renewing neural stem cells in adults that can produce new neurons. Neurogenesis predominantly occurs in the subventricular and subgranular zones of the brain. Peripheral nerves can regenerate along its axon as long as the endoneurial tube and ...

I'm actually not sure myself. If I were to use something, I would go with "Mitos'd" and "Meios'd". However, you may not win over many fans, depending on the audience. If it's with students or maybe a professor, you could get away with shortening the processes. If it's in any formal setting, be as precise and descriptive as possible. It's not a lot of ...

I'm not sure about the first developmental stages but, given you already have hundreds of cells with slightly different physiology, the next developmental stages like dev. of neural tube happen through excretion of translation factors and growth factors in several cells. Each of those cells that are in a region where more than one excretion overlaps get a ...

As was pointed out by @jello differentiated neurons do not divide, instead new neurons are recruited into existing networks from undifferentiated cells. This process is called neurogenesis. A high level summary of adult neurogenesis: Neural progenitor cells differentiate into new neurons that have zero (or very few) synaptic connections, but are sensitive ...
