You might want to look into what's called ANN -- artificial neural networks.
ANNs don't begin to scratch the surface of the scale or complexity of the human brain.
Not that they're not fun as toy models, or useful in their own right, just remember that they are oblivious to all human brain chemistry, and to chemistry in general.
Of course, but Cube is talking about "a similar set of basic gates that can be organized into a Turing machine" which looks like an ANN more than it looks like wetware.
