My Mind-Blowing AHA Moment

There were many AHA moments that I had experienced during this field trip, however one was really interesting as it had to do with my brain as well as my head and what happened to it in the past.In 2003, I had been in a car accident and had a serious case of bleeding in the brain; known as subdural hematoma. I was unable to walk and talk in the proper way, differentiate between colours and could not remember how to accomplish basic motor skills. During the presentations and disscussions, Dr. Hani and Dr. Sabagh had talked about if a serious brain injury had to occur,then the neurons or helping hands to carry out specific functions would fade away or die out, that results in the brain and remapping-neuroplasticity. This had happened to me as my top left side of my head and brain had been severely injured and damaged. Other neurons had helped to remap my brain so that I could get back on my feet and return to a normal person again.
