Millisecond spinning, low magnetic field neutron stars are believed to attain their fast rotation in a 0. 1-1 Gyr-long phase during which they accrete matter endowed with angular momentum from a low-mass companion star.

In this article, we review the main contributions by INTEGRAL to our understanding of the pulsating hard X-ray sky, such as the discovery and characterization of several accreting and transitional millisecond pulsars, the generation of the first catalog of hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray rotation-powered pulsars, the detection of polarization in the hard X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar, and the discovery of persistent hard X-ray emission from several magnetars.
