Abstract
We report a case of a 19-year-old woman with drug-resistant focal epilepsy whose typical seizure semiology involved sensations of déjà-vu. She underwent intracranial stimulation, leading to déjà-vu upon stimulation of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). Most reports of induced déjà-vu and epilepsy-associated déjà-vu emphasize networks including temporal lobe, especially the rhinal cortices, as the generator of this phenomenon. However, evidence from healthy individuals and those with confirmed cingulate epilepsy suggests that the PCC may play a role in some experiences of déjà-vu or other dreamy state phenomena. This case adds to the body of evidence suggesting a role for the PCC in déjà-vu. It also highlights the importance of including the PCC in intracranial investigations of some suspected temporal lobe epilepsies.
期刊介绍：
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
