“Complex” doesn’t imply “hard to emulate”. We likely won’t need to understand the encoded systems, just the behavior of the neurons. In high school I wrote a simple simulator of charged particles—the rules I needed to encode were simple, but it displayed behavior I hadn’t programmed in, nor expected, but which were, in fact, real phenomena that really happen.
I would argue that the most complex information exchange system in the known Universe will be “hard to emulating”. I don’t see how it can be any other way. We already understand the neurons well enough to emulate them. This is not nearly enough. You will not be able to do whole brain emulation without understanding of the inner workings of the system.
