No, it’s a much simpler architecture. Anything that evolved can’t require a really complicated niche structure. The difficulty is the scale. Every synapse of a neuron is effectively a neuron itself, and every synapse acts on the synapses around it. So before you’ve even got to the neuron as a whole you’ve already got the equivalent of thousands of neurons and logic gates. Then the final result gets passed on to thousands more neurons. I don’t know how you would recreate such complexity in programming. It’s not just the scale, it’s the flexibility of the structure.
