What I really found interesting was that you could create neurons from blood & connect them together ?

I am not a biologist but I am wondering , can we create something like an immortal neuron ? I know that there are these water pigs / tardigrades which are very small and they look cute , can such tardigrades like organic matter be used for things like neuron , and also I am wondering. Can we really take a exact copy of these biological computers in terms of storage / data ? That way biological computers can still be conserved forever ?

I just found out starfish don't have a brain .... This is so fascinating
Starfish, also known as sea stars, do not have a brain in the traditional sense. Instead, they possess a nerve net that allows them to function and respond to stimuli. This nerve net is a distributed system of slow neurons that operate more like a simple computer program rather than a complex brain

So starfish are also like this.

Also out of topic but

I had also seen this muscle robot the other day combine this here with this and it can be absolutely nuts
