Some Artificial Neural Networks have been shown to significantly (at least up to 50% concordance) model brain function.
Not the mention the laborious work of neuroscientists to build out the connectome of the human brain.

The neuroscientists I know in the field would be among the first to tell you that our ability to model the brain is nearly non existent. In fact we don't even have a great model of a single neuron [1]. This statement doesn't invalidate the work folks are doing to try and reach that goal. Biology is hard.
Understanding 50% of the brain, whatever that would even mean, is an utter fantasy.
I am not suggesting that we are anywhere near having a complete analytical model of 50% of the brain.
I am suggesting that we do have tools to continue answering questions about functional aspects of the brain.
Or am I missing something that indicates the non-utility of “function analysis” of biology-based artificial neural networks?
