Abstract	We briefly present the basic elements of membrane computing, a branch of natural computing inspired by the structure and functioning of living cells, then we give some details about spiking neural P systems, a class of membrane systems recently introduced, with motivations related to the way neurons communicate by means of spikes. In both cases, of general P systems and of spiking neural P systems, we introduce the fundamental concepts, give a few examples, then recall the types of results and of applications. A series of bibliographical references are provided.
