Weighted spiking neural P systems with anti-spikes (AWSN P systems) are proposed by adding anti-spikes to spiking neural P systems with weighted synapses. Anti-spikes behave like spikes of inhibition of communication between neurons. Both spikes and anti-spikes are used in the rule expressions. An illustrative example is given to show the working process of the proposed AWSN P systems. The Turing universality of the proposed P systems as number generating and accepting devices is proved. Finally, a universal AWSN P system having 34 neurons is proved to work as a function computing device by using standard rules, and one having 30 neurons is proved to work as a number generator.
