"The brain cranks out memories near its center, in a looped wishbone of tissue called the hippocampus. But a new study suggests only a small chunk of it, called the dentate gyrus, is responsible for “episodicâ€

Here I thought deja vu was just a change in the Matrix.

hahahah. XD

...the older you get?

I thought that was because you forgot things more frequently. Deja Vu would just be that you haven't forgotten it COMPLETELY.

[mitsuki lover]

Or was it because we've been here before and didn't realize it?
Ok,to be serious there are probably cases where de ja vu is simply triggered by
similarity in location,events,etc.The I-Fee-I've-Been-Here-Done-That-Before
syndrome probably comes from long forgotten memory of past events where we have had similiar expierences.

Some of the more memorable instances of Deja vu I've had were cases where I could actually recall dreaming about a particular inconsequential moment before it happened.

Actually, I have a theory on deja vu:

Souls and such aside, your brain functions on electricity and chemicals. What if deja vu is nothing more than your brain releasing the same chemical cocktail it does when you actually remember something?

Then I would love to know how to make a chemical cocktail. THAT would be awesome. Then I could be like....Denzel Washington....wait...no....nevermind. XD

Man I'm bored. XD! j/k

Aww, snaps. Someone beat me to it.

(I quite literally get deja vu all the time. It seems I can't go anywhere or talk to anyone without feeling like I've done it before. Like a few days ago, at my homeschool debate league's National tournament, I can't tell you how many times that I know I have not either met this person or have had that conversation with that person, yet I still felt like I've had it before. It's extremely strange. Now I wish it would work during debate rounds so I'd know if I'm going in the right direction with my argumentation...)

If it's distinguishing between 2 situations, then what if the situation happened in a place with a person you never been/meet before?

I always thought Deja Vu was a hip-hop song preformed by Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z....great driving tunage, btw.

[[GMOD]Vedicardi]

I've heard theories that Deja Vu was when your thoughts rather than being process first, were immediately entered into the the part of your brain the remembers things.

Sure, it's not the most scientific explanation, but it makes sense.

So the other day I was playing a game and turned it off after forgetting to save. I turned it back on and had to go through much of the same stuff.





Deja Vu is just God forgetting to save before going to bed.

He should have forgot to save ten years ago.
