The Blue Brain project will have a rat brain model. It reproduces some of the responses you'd expect from a real. That's orders of magnitude of technical progress away from what an upload would require. We don't even know for sure if it's physically possible to perform an upload (due to quantum mechanics), much less have a device which can come close to measure a significant part of the quantum state of a working brain (i.e. the technical problems beyond physical feasibility).
