Claim:
1. An artificial tripartite synapse, comprising: a memristor, comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a memristive layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the memristor is adapted such that an asymmetrical current density distribution is obtained in the memristive layer; and a field effect transistor; wherein the memristor is connected to a gate of the field effect transistor; wherein the memristive layer comprises an asymmetrical doping density distribution or an asymmetrical trap density distribution such that the asymmetrical current density distribution is obtained in the memristive layer; and wherein the current density varies along an equipotential line within the memristive layer; and wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are the same size.
