A NEURISTOR COMPRISING (A) AN ELONGATED CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT, (B) AN ELONGATED TUNNEL DIODE MOUNTED ON SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT, AND (C) A PLURALITY OF UNIFORMLY SPACED CONDUCTIVE TABS MOUNTED ON SAID TUNNEL DIODE, WHEREBY A VOLTAGE SUPPLY MEANS MAY BE CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT AND SAID CONDUCTIVE TABS FOR BIASING SAID TUNNEL DIODE, AND FURTHER, WHEREBY MEANS MAY BE CONNECTED BETWEEN ONE OF SAID CONDUCTIVE TABS AND SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT FOR INITIATING A BREAKDOWN IN THE REGION OF SAID TUNNEL DIODE BETWEEN SAID ONE TAB AND SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT SO THAT SAID BREAKDOWN MAY SPREAD AUTOMATICALLY TO ADJACENT REGIONS OF SAID TUNNEL DIODE.
