There are 10 billion neurons in an average human brain, give or take a few.

Any such estimated relation would be worthless because of the 
analog/digital nature of neurons and their ability to adapt to stimuli or 
input.  Transistors lack the ability to adapt to stimuli.  Another problem 
with such an estimate would be the difference in bandwidth between neurons 
and transistors.  Transistors are much faster switchers than neuron, 
having a bandwidth of around 100 Mbaud.  Neurons are limited to about 300 
action potentials per second.
