At what point do brain cells develop the complexity for consciousness? Is there a specific number of brain cells which produces self-awareness?

I have a difficult time believing that consciousness is some artifact that arises from material “complexity and structure”, and tend towards the nondual view of reality.

But that is just my opinion, and what makes consciousness such a fascinating subject imo.
