One neuron is almost useless. A stack of them recognises a cat. The difference is an abstraction ladder — the single most important reason deep learning works at all.
A neuron in a neural network is not a brain cell. It's a tiny voting committee that decides how much to shout. Once you drop the biology, the whole thing gets dramatically less scary.
