Actually, synapses are the only thing in there. What we can't figure out is what they are computing. The brain is a massive parallel processor. the arguments in the field rest on the nature and instantiation of the computational processes and representations employed in cognition.
AI is trying to model the computational level of cognition, not the physical system. There have been many successful models of low level neural architecture, such as this .
Synapses really are the only thing going on in there, but those synapses are part of a body, which is a big, wet parallel processor
