This is fantastic progress. There’s two directions of attack that are necessary to get brain emulation.
First, scanning ability needs to advance enough to scan an entire brain with various stains at the decananometer voxel level.
Second, we still don’t know enough about how neural cells in the brain function. Just recently, glial cells like astrocytes we’re recognized to have a significant effect on signaling and the entropy of neural activity. I expect more and more learnings from neuroscience will slowly work their way into the field of neuromorphic computing and eventually we’ll have a complete picture.
