I think there's a chance it's similar, I'm not a neuroscientist though. The paper says: "This could potentially change the computational complexity of typical ML training pipelines, reduce the time and energy costs of training, influence ML hardware design, and even have implications regarding the biological plausibility of backpropagation in the brain (Bengio et al., 2015; Lillicrap et al., 2020)."
