To address this challenge, we propose and demonstrate a piezoelectric neuron with a simple circuit structure, consisting of a piezoelectric cantilever, a parallel capacitor, and a series resistor. It operates through the synergy between the converse piezoelectric effect and the capacitive charging/discharging. Thanks to this efficient and robust mechanism, the piezoelectric neuron not only implements critical leaky integrate-and-fire functions (including leaky integration, threshold-driven spiking, all-or-nothing response, refractory period, strength-modulated firing frequency, and spatiotemporal integration), but also demonstrates small cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device variations (∼1.9% and ∼10.0%, respectively), high endurance (10<sup>10</sup>), high speed (integration/firing: ∼9.6/∼0.4 μs), and low energy consumption (∼13.4 nJ/spike).
