So I've had this and intersections are bad as well, lots of turns ,choices and every stress to get through I've panicked and pulled off and been shaken enough that I needed a few minutes to get myself together. (This was when I was driving)
When I ask my doctor at the time , He said that it was my Stop- Go mechanism as it should be automatic I've been driving over 35 years.
Any thoughts as to what part of the brain that may involve?
But as I read the this thread , I get pannicked whenever I get the feeling I can't recognize my suroundings and yes their is an entire Internal dialog going on the whole time.While I try to talk myself through it of curse it doesn't make sense, till it's over.

I've read jamais vu is a feature of seizures in the temporal lobe, but I did some reading today, and scientists aren't really sure where it stems from in the brain.

Jamais vu can result from seizures, but also brain fatigue too -- like when you read a word over and over that it loses all meaning. I've had it happen to me, but not in the extreme the way it happens to you or my partner.

My doc says they come from the temporal lobe..... Where in the temporal lobe, I don't know.
