I think we can make an even stronger claim... If we examine a "behavior" we see that it is only a behavior because the relevant axons happen to terminate at an end effector like muscle tissue. If these same axons were transposed to instead terminate at other dendrites, we might label their causal influence an attentional change or a "shifting thought". So, by extending your argument, there is no good reason to suspect we cannot model ANY neural process whatsoever. This is how causal influence proceeds in the model I have created. It's a stunning thing to observe.
