I don't have any clear answers for you, but one interesting note here is that a recent paper showed that it took a deep neural net to be able to simulate the "IO" of a single cortical neuron. So that should give you some idea of the complexity involved compared to artificial neural nets, Re: your disclaimer.

> A temporally convolutional DNN with five to eight layers was required to capture the I/O mapping of a realistic model of a layer 5 cortical pyramidal cell (L5PC).

> When NMDA receptors were removed, a much simpler network (fully connected neural network with one hidden layer) was sufficient to fit the model.
