Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't brain cell never renew itself?

Gonna correct, this is false-ish... however it is much slower. By the time you're 50 for example all of the neurons in your hippocampus will have been replaced. It's called neurogenesis. It is not currently known whether its the same rate for all of the brain some parts are a little faster, other parts are slower.
