A neuromorphic electric system includes a network of plural neuron circuits connected in series and in parallel to form plural layers. Each of the plural neuron circuits includes: a soma circuit that stores a charge supplied thereto and outputs a spike signal; and plural synapse circuits that supply a charge to the soma circuit according to a spike signal fed to the synapse circuits, a number of the plural synapse circuits being one more than a number of plural neuron circuits in a prior layer outputting the spike signal to the synapse circuits. One of the plural synapse circuits supplies a charge to the soma circuit in response to receiving a series of pulse signals, and the others of the plural synapse circuits supply a charge to the soma circuit in response to receiving a spike signal from corresponding neuron circuits in the prior layer.
