Brain has a large number of connected neurons. Which, by definition, is a "neural network".
The artificial neural network model you described works more like a brain than, say, a traditional von Neumann computer. It works less like a brain than, say, HTM, which is another type of an artificial neural network. There are even more biologically plausible NN models (e.g. those used in HBP).
The bottom line is, a large number of connected neurons is at the core of human intelligence. Everything else is just details.

That's a great example of the magical thinking that prevails in discussions of neural networks today. You only need to put your ducks in a row to figure out why it makes no sense. "The brain" you say "has lots of connections". "Therefore, if something has many connections, it's like a brain". I hope that raises a big red flag with bells on for you, 'cause it sure does for me. Spaghetti carbonara looks a lot like a brain (it's made of fibers and it's an off-white, sticky mess). I've never known it to be intelligent, though maybe it's just too smart for me, eh?
