This strikes me as very similar to a Mandelbrot fractal. The fractal is overwhelmingly complex and intricate, but wholly mathematically described by a very simple formula. The complexity of the brain is similar: A few simple cells and proteins can interact in extraordinarily complex ways.
Some biologists understand this just fine, thank you very much.
