It's going to be the other way around. The brain is a knotted mess of connections between lots of different neuron types, and I don't believe the complexity of the brain is a necessary feature of Intelligence. Because of this extra complexity, the brain will serve as a poor model system for Intelligence.
I think deep neural networks running on GPUs will teach us more about Intelligence. Eventually, Neuroscientists will have to transfer ideas from machine learning to notions of how the brain works.
