As someone who studied neurobiology more deeply than most CS people I've been talking into the wind for a long time that neurons are not point objects that can be simply modeled by equations. They are organisms with incredibly complex behaviors and internal gene regulatory structures and other information processing capabilities. Neural networks are coarse grained models of large scale brain structure. The fact that these models can be taught to do very interesting brain-like things (especially pattern recognition) demonstrates that this structure is important and fundamental, but that doesn't mean it's the whole picture of what's going on in the brain. I say talking into the wind because in my experience most CS people tend to hand-wave away biology at the cellular level and below. There's this zealotry around us being "almost there" with AGI and the rest that blinds people to the real magnitude of the problem and how much is really happening in the brain. This likely includes a whole lot that we haven't even started to really understand.
