How many milliseconds does it take for one layer of neurons to adjust its output? Let's call this number X.

Can we conclude that if a task takes a human Y milliseconds, then a neural network with Y/X layers is sufficient for that task?

A biological neuron is many magnitudes more complex than a typical neural network node.
AIUI/AIBT there aren't really discrete layers in brains and even the same type of neuron can act in very different ways, so I wouldn't be surprised if this question doesn't translate to brains.
