I came across interesting info relating to implicit, explicit memory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_memory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_memory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology)
some interesting info on "Illusion-of-truth effect" in the implicit memory article, and priming relating to the medial temporal lobe.
and under explanations for deja vu:
Memory-based explanations
The similarity between a déjà-vu-eliciting stimulus and an existing, but different, memory trace may lead to the sensation.[6][11] Thus, encountering something which evokes the implicit associations of an experience or sensation that cannot be remembered may lead to déjà vu. In an effort to experimentally reproduce the sensation, Banister and Zangwill (1941)[12][13] used hypnosis to give participants posthypnotic amnesia for material they had already seen. When this was later re-encountered, the restricted activation caused thereafter by the posthypnotic amnesia resulted in three of the 10 participants reporting what the authors termed "paramnesias".
fantastic
I've wondered about this type of thing
