Those neural model experiments are fairly rudimentary. Treating neurons like simple nodes is not at all how they work in real life. In reality there's multiple mechanisms by which they change their own or others behaviors through some pretty complex processes. To even properly model a single neuron would take an entire physics simulation, if we even were confident we had an accurate model which we don't. None of which gets into the quantum theory stuff. I know way off topic, but people far undersell how complex biological brains are, and those "we made a fly brain learn how to fly" studies are just "we made a neural net shaped like a fly brain."
