No, it's not. There are many animals that have extremely complex and even learned behaviour that have literally zero neurons.

Clearly "neurons" is an oversimplification just-so story, not a scientific theory.

Do you consider fungi animals or do you perhaps mean animals that don't have a brain/CNS?

Yes, protozoans don't have brains and yet they exhibit complex behavior.

Apparently even single-celled protozoa can show learned trial and error behaviour.
