Well, my point was that many - if not most - problems people have are "standard" problems that people just have because they're people and they all work in the same way.
For example, being lonely causes depression, bad parents cause a huge variety of problems, and so on. Human nature, our insecurities, our egos, our selfishness & greed, and so on - they're the same for everyone.
If you've got a problem, you can be pretty sure you're not the first one to have it, and that the way to treat you is no different from the way all the others with the same problem were treated.
So, I wouldn't think of it in terms of neurons, but in terms of humans.
