That’s true if and only if some aspect of biological neural architecture (as opposed to the many artificial neural network architectures out there) turns out to be Turing irreducible; all computing systems meeting some basic requirements are able to simulate each other in a pretty strong and general way. As far as I’m aware, we don’t know about any physical processes which can’t be simulated on a von Neumann (or any other Turing-complete) architecture, so claiming natural neurology as part of that category seems to be jumping the gun just a little bit.
