We understand lots of aspects of neurons and can model those. See the wikipedia page for some examples of well-understood principles.
- tim333 2y agoYeah and you can do a simulation using a rough approximation and then it is interesting to see in what ways it matches real brains and in what it does not. It seems the DeepMind rat brain didn't really try to get close to biological neurons but still produced outputs close to a real brain.
