Yes but take this a step further. If you assume that each synapse is 4 bytes of information (a bit sparse it’s probably more than that), 86 billion neurons times 1000 synapses times 4 bytes = 344 terabytes.
How much information do you store when you have 3 fingers up when counting on your fingers? How much data can a page of handwritten notes hold?
You can probably neglect it. It doesn’t add any significant amount of compute to an AI system to give it perfect, multi-megabyte, working memory.
