We prove the existence of multiple periodic solutions as well as the presence of complex profiles (for a certain range of the parameters) for the steady-state solutions of a class of reaction-diffusion equations with a FitzHugh-Nagumo cubic type nonlinearity. An application is given to a second order ODE related to a myelinated nerve axon mode
