I believe current studies on human neurons are that in both signalling and
state there is quite a bit more complexity than was originally appreciated.
For interconnect, simpler neural nets (think earthworms) use *timing* of
inter-neuron traffic as a control mechanism, which greatly simplified the
neural net topology.  For a long time, it was thought that time signalling
was not used in the much more complex human neural net.  More recent studies
are indicating that it's in fact being used for a whole deeper, previously
unappreciated level of complexity.

Similarly, the standard model is that each neuron is a simple actor in the
net.  Again, recent studies are finding vastly more complex interior state to
the neuron's mechanism (at least in humans).

So we may not know enough about AI neurons to be able to look at a particular
building block and decide whether or not it's a fit.
