There isn't a plan to do the whole human brain, and doing so would require both at least two further generations of hardware and likely building a new facility for deploying it in. If someone's got a spare billion, and a decade or so to work on it, we could give it a go, but it is a lot to spend for no actual certainty that we'd succeed.

We do plan to simulate the mouse brain, but our interests are more in understanding network-level mechanisms that are difficult to study at the neuron or whole-brain levels. The meso-scale stuff is where understanding is critical and tricky.

When you say "simulate the mouse brain", what do you mean exactly? Given as even the c. elegans with its 300 neurons can't be simulated well enough to actually be a living digital organism.
