Why is there a sense of deja vu? Theory and assumptions

The Phenomenon of déjà vu is familiar to everyone of us. Agree, for once, in an unfamiliar place or conversing with a stranger, you were sure that this situation and this conversation was already in your life. You exactly remember it, but have no idea exactly when, under what circumstances was it.

This is the sense of deja vu. It confuses, amazes, causes strain on the memory. Some call it false memories, the more suspicious think obsession, but absolutely everyone is interested in why there is a sense of deja vu. What is this phenomenon?

False memory have intrigued people for a long time. Today, scientists still are unable to answer why there is an effect of deja vu.

However, there is a definition of this phenomenon. Déjà vu refers to a special mental state. Sometimes the effect is compared with the read in childhood book: you don't remember what happens next, but as events unfold, you realize that they are repeated. And again, just as it was long.

Scientists have shown that 97% of healthy inhabitants of the Earth are experiencing the condition. But epileptics and people with mental disorders are in such a state much more often.

Fear this is not necessary: deja vu is the norm. However, healthy people will suffer not so often. Perhaps that is why the answer to the question on why there is a sense of deja vu, still not found. From the experts too little material for research.

However, the theory of the origin of this strange and interesting condition still exist.

The Theory of the fourth. Physiological

American researchers found that for determining the differences between similar images, phenomena and concepts answers dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (a brain).
