A set of neuron-type circuits elements based on logic gate circuits with multi-input capability is described. Three types of elements are introduced, one called the cell body with its dendritic inputs and synaptic junction, another representing the axon base and finally the axon circuit. These three elements are cascaded to form a neuron type processing element. The circuit performs input temporal and spatial summation as well as thresholding. The entire neuron circuit is simulated and a design is given using VLSI techniques.
