Before revision: While there is still a lot to learn about astrocytes and their neuromodulatory role associated with their spatial and temporal integration of synaptic activity, the introduction of an additional to neurons processing unit into neuromorphic hardware is timely, facilitating their computational exploration in basic science questions and their exploitation in real-world applications.
