Sometimes innovation is better than imitation though - we didn't build the jumbo jet by copying the birds and likewise attempting to copy the biological brain may not be the best route for AI. This is why the 'neurones' used in ANN's are nothing like biological neurones really - both in the properties of the activation functions and the structure of the net as a whole (which is difficult as we still know relatively few details about the structure of the human brain on a neural circuitry level).
