Abstract

A variant of spiking neural P systems was recently investigated by the authors, using astrocytes that have excitatory and inhibitory influence on synapses. In this work, we consider this system in the non-synchronized (i.e., asynchronous) mode: in any step, when a neuron is enabled, it is not obligatorily fired, making a global clock dispensable. It is proved that asynchronous spiking neural P systems with astrocytes are universal (when using extended rules). The construction is uniform in the sense that the form of the modules used is independent of the simulated register machine.
