Looks like they were just simulating eight million neurons with up to
6.3k synapses each. How's that necessarily a mouse simulation, anyway?
It really isn't because the individual neuron behavior is so *vastly*
simplified. It is, however, a necessary first step and likely to teach us
*a lot*.

The researchers say that although the simulation shared some
similarities with a mouse's mental make-up in terms of nerves and
connections it lacked the structures seen in real mice brains.
