On the field trip to Fahad Specialists Hospital my aha moment was when Dr. Hani Al-Khaldi a pediatric neurologist explained to us about the process of neuroplasticity which is the manner in which when a specific body part is damaged and has dead or damaged neurons, nearby neurons will come to the aid of the damaged body part and help the injured neurons in controlling that area and it's functions. This was my aha moment because it was something I had no idea about until the field trip, and when I did learn about it really opened up my mind in showing how advanced our brain is and how it can react to nearly every situation that it encounters. This moment also really tied up many topics and explained a lot about how medical personal can treat patients and rehiblatet them. Also thanks to my aha moment when I came back from school the day of the fieldtrip I asked my mom for any people she knew or knows who had or has a neurological problem or a problem related to the brain like a stroke, and she replied telling me about my dads aunt who one day got a stoke that paralyzed her whole body and how the doctors treated her and what methods did they use, one of the methods my mom told me the doctors used was they moved her hand to get movement so nearby neurons could come to aid the damaged body part and perform neuroplasticity. This was really surprising to me since I never knew that someone in my family had problem related to the brain. Over all this moment was my aha moment cause it explained a lot of things about the brain to me as well as getting me more interested in the topic.
