Looking for answers.
Sun, 04/30/2006 - 20:54Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Just looking for people to talk to and to get a better understanding of TLE and petit mal sz's. Stuff I thougt I would never need to know about. I look forward to talking to people here.
Can anyone tell me about how deja vu affects them? Mine doesn't seem to always hit me as it happens. Instead, as I remember the incident a day or so after I seem to think that it happened not only the day before but that It happenned days, or weeks, or years before also, and that it just keeps repeating itself and that seeing it again yesterday was just another repeat. It could be something as simple as seeing someone trip. If it was significant enough for me to think of it later then it seems to repeat in my memory.
Did that make sense? It didn't to me either. None of this does :(

OK, I can't find the original article I was talking about, but here are a few:
1) A scientific paper. Not exactly exciting, but interesting:
neuropsychiatryonline paper
2) A blurb on Discover. Not very detailed, but quick and easy.
Discover article
3) In between. Easy to read, and informative. Contains the shortterm/longterm mixup theory, though it doesn't pin it right on the hippocampus.

I would love to read that about the hippocampus and long term memory. That is probably the most plausible explanation I've ever heard! If you can remember where you read it, pass it along! :)
