If they simulate cortex, they wire arrange it into cortical columns (size of each column is between 50,000 and 100,000 neurons and there is over two million of them). Those columns have many different layers and neuron types. Understanding how cortical columns and minicolumns work is very important.
> So they wire it like the brain is wired.
As if anyone knew how to do that. Even assuming that you can do both accurate micro-tractography and extract cell-by cell epigenetic information out of a single column, you'd still be missing other cricial information like individual synaptic strength.
I'm not talking about cortico-thalamic connections (required to model epilepsy) inter-columnar connections, and whatever regulation happens in the white matter.
Relying on the probability distribution of connections as a crude approximation is useful, but far from the real deal.
Your real deal has nothing to do with current brain science and these simulations.
With current brain science, call me perplexed. Could detail were you think I'm off base?
