A bacteria is already a computer (at least), and a neurone is already a rather sophisticated society of bacteria and viruses, plausibly enough. So, a society of billions of neurons should not be compared to transistors. The substitution level is plausibly much lower than the level of neurons. But we don’t know in Nature anything which at some level is not emulable by a computer, except for controversial notion like A) primary matter (if that exists, it is not emulable by a computer) B) the reduction of the wave packet (if that exists, it is provably not emulable by a computer). But there are no evidence neither for A) nor for B).
