I think the article is a tiny bit misleading. The main reason for the perceived lack of enthusiasm towards deep learning in neuroscience stems from the fact that such multilayer networks are not plausible models of neural architecture. In a way they are not unlike chess computers, which surpass human performance multiple times yet offer little to no insight into how a human plays chess. As data analysis tools, however, they are quite brilliant.
