They do carry electrons. It's a charge signalling system, just like semi conductors in silica. And we understand far less well though, is the computational functions going on in the nuron cells themselves. Something different may emerge that augments silica and electronic that allows us to get closer to a brain. But silican will never get to the power efficiency of a brain for fundamental reasons.
