The deja vu experience is a common phenomenon, occurring in pathological
as well as nonpathological conditions. It has been defined as any
subjectively inappropriate impression of familiarity of a present
experience with an undefined past. The authors discuss the epidemiologic
data, clinical features, and etiology of the phenomenon of deja vu. They
also review the different hypotheses on the psychopathogenesis of the deja
vu experience and introduce an explanation based on the hologram as a
mnestic model.
