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.

Would anyone like to attempt to describe what the other arrows are pointing to, and what would be the result of a lesion in those areas?
