A three-dimensional integration of synapse circuitry is formed. One or more neuron layers each comprises a plurality of computing elements, and one or more synapse layers each comprising an array of memory elements are formed on top of the one or more neuron layers. A plurality of staggered through-silicon vias (TSVs) connect the one or more neuron layers to the one or more synapse layers and operate as communication links between one or more computing elements in the one or more neuron layers and one or more memory elements in the one or more synapse layers.
