  Memristors have been compared to neurons (usually specifically the synapses)
since 1976 but no experimental evidence has been offered for support for this
position. Here we highlight that memristors naturally form fast-response,
highly reproducible and repeatable current spikes which can be used in
voltage-driven neuromorphic architecture. Ease of fitting current spikes with
memristor theories both suggests that the spikes are part of the memristive
effect and provides modeling capability for the design of neuromorphic
circuits.
