Imagine that max is a neuron who is engaging in neuron-like activities. max can't but notice a spike in electrical energy that passes through his axon. what might max be experiencing?

Max might be experiencing a very stressful situation that requires him to do a fight-or-flight response. Neurons are responsible for detecting stimuli from the internal and external environment of the body. It reacts accordingly through a series of chains of synapses that send nerve impulses to the brain. A sudden spike in the electrical energy means that something very sudden must be occurring within Max' immediate environment, and he needs to react to the stimuli quickly.
