These are some hard-to-find publications that are still useful

• Misha Mahowald, VLSI Analogs of Neuronal Visual Processing: A Synthesis of Form and Function, PhD thesis, Caltech, 1992. She won the Caltech's Clauser prize for the best PhD thesis for this work, which included the silicon retina, AER communication, and a beautiful stereopsis chip. Later published in reworked form as an overpriced but very well-written Kluwer book retitled as An Analog VLSI System for Stereoscopic Vision. Still expensive at Amazon.
• Massimo (Mass) Sivilotti, Wiring Considerations in Analog VLSI Systems, with Application to Field-Programmable Networks, PhD Thesis, Caltech, 1991. Mass developed the first AER arbitration circuits and computed wiring constraints on VLSI systems. Thanks to Luiz Gouveia of the Univ. of Edinburgh for reconstruction of the Pdf from mass tex sources.
• John Lemoncheck's 1992 JSSC paper on modeling electric fish jamming avoidance response. Nice piece of work right in the heart of neuromorphic modeling and certainly the first neuromorphic system to appear in the main solid state circuits journal.
• C. Mead (1990) Neuromorphic Electronic Systems, Proceedings of the IEEE, vol 78, No 10, pp 1629-1636
  Carver Mead's summary paper on the rationale and state of the art in 1990 for neuromorphic electronics.
• Original silicon retina paper from Scientific American, Misha Mahowald and Carver Mead, 1991
