Abstract
In the “standard” way of simulating register machines by spiking neural P systems (in short, SN P systems), one neuron is associated with each instruction of the register machine that we want to simulate. In this note, a new way is introduced for simulating register machines by SN P systems, where only one neuron is used for all instructions of a register machine; in this way, we can use less neurons to construct universal SN P systems. Specifically, a universal system with extended rules (without delay) having 10 neurons is constructed.
