The Déjà Vu Phenomenon Yet To Be Explained Fully

___________
Research has now offered an insight into the 'déjà vu' phenomenon, a sensation of having done, seen or experienced certain things before. Leeds university researchers have found that it is nothing more than a defect in the memory process.
Though all of us have experienced similar feeling in our day-to-day life, for some people, this kind of a feeling is constant. It is hypothesized that memory circuit failure in the temporal lobe of the brain, associated with recollection of memory can lead to such a condition. If a memory circuit is either switched on permanently or is hyperactive, as in case of chronic déjà vu sufferers, it could then lead to creation of memories, where none exist in reality.
The condition can have a significant effect on the mental health of an individual. In worst cases, it can lead to depression.More research is clearly indicated to appreciate such conditions and better understand memory and thought processes in the near future.
