A 28-year-old man reports extremely familiar thoughts (déjà vu) just before he has a seizure. Which labeled area in the diagram is the most likely site of the causal lesion?

Scientists have associated déjà vu closely with the brain's temporal lobe. This attachment was based on accounts from persons with temporal-lobe epilepsy. Individuals experiencing seizures caused by the condition have a tendency to experience déjà vu immediately before and during the convulsions. Following the aura, a temporal lobe complex partial seizure begins with a wide-eyed, motionless stare, dilated pupils, and behavioral arrest. Oral alimentary automatisms such as lip smacking, chewing, and swallowing may be noted. Manual automatisms or unilateral dystonic posturing of a limb also may be observed.
