While it’s hard to recreate déjà vu in a lab, scientists believe that it involves two parts of the brain: the medial temporal lobe and the frontal cortex. The medial temporal lobe, located ...

These neurons, located in the medial frontal cortex, can encode abstract patterns of progress, enabling the brain to manage complex tasks such as planning, reasoning, and decision-making.

The authors instead suggest that the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex both play a role in recollection and familiarity, and that these two regions of the medial temporal lobe differ mainly in ...
