A memristor is a device that has different metastable states at a voltage V. It has a resistance that depends on the history of the system, and the states can be switched by applied voltage. A memristor is a device with very large hysteresis. Neurons have the same ingredients as memristors plus at least one negative resistance. The neuron can undergo a Hopf bifurcation that passes the dynamics from rest to a spiking state. We provide impedance spectroscopy criteria to identify these features. First, we show the impedance model of a halide perovskite memristor, that exhibits inductive behaviour due to inverted hysteresis. We introduce the concept of a chemical inductor and explain the general kinetic model that generates such behaviour in a variety of systems. Next, we show the full dynamical regimes of a FitzHugh-Nagumo model, that is a representative minimal model of a spinning neuron
