By replacing transistors with neurons we're already no longer technically talking about Moore's law. If we remove the doubling every two years, it's even further from Moore's law. It's just an example of exponential growth. That being said, maybe there is a process in the brain where the doubling in density of neurons happens every 2 years. Maybe at some point during growth from baby to adult there's a similar increase in density. Or when neurons are repaired after damage. I honestly couldn't say. The answer to this question really depends on how much we decide to dismember Moore's law!
Hey @N.Steinle Thanks for responding. I actually don't disagree with you, you raise a very interesting point. I'm not a neuroscientist so I can't really comment on neuroplasticity, you have me at a disadvantage there. I certainly don't want to mislead anybody on here into thinking I'm a brain expert! The point I was trying to make in my original answer is this: Moore's law has a very specific definition. It's about exponential growth of density of transistors on integrated circuits by a factor of 2 every 2 years (roughly). Continued below:
