A neuromorphic memory element (100,200,300,706) comprises a memristor, a plurality of the neuromrophic memory elements (100,200,300,706) and a method for operating the same may be provided. The memristor comprises an input signal terminal (104), an output signal terminal (106), and a control signal terminal, and a memristive active channel (108) comprising a phase change material. The memristive active channel (108) extends longitudinal between the input signal terminal (104) and the output signal terminal (106), and a control signal voltage at the control signal terminal is configured to represent volatile biological neural processes of the neuromorphic memory element (100,200,300,706), and a bias voltage between the input signal terminal (104) and the output terminal (106) is configured to represent non-volatile biological processes of the neuromorphic memory element (100,200,300,706).
