I didn't say it did. I don't know how you would know if it does, but it could if the structure of the universe allows for it.

Or is lattice structure with connecting nodes largely incidental to a profound array of infrastructures like neurotransmitter, membrane action potentials, ATPs, etc, etc, etc that are absolutely essential for neurologic function? Look up anywhere, google will do, how cell functions, and what processes are required, beside the lattice like structure, for neurons to do anything neuron like at all.
It would obviously require the equivalent of all these systems and mechanisms and these would operate on the scale of the universe as a whole. But it would require the the appropraite neurological structure of to begin with, which it has as you can see. The rest of it will be there to discover in the furture, something to look forward to.

If not, what is the basis for claiming analogous function underneath the most superficial of visual similarity?
It could for all we know, bear in mind that you're only seeing 4% of what is actually there.
