Jamais Vu

Jamais Vu

Jamais vu (literally "never seen") and jamais vécu ("never lived") are complex auras of focal onset epilepsy in which there is a sensation of strangeness or unfamiliarity about visual stimuli that have in fact been previously experienced (cf. déjà vu). This is suggestive of seizure onset in the limbic system, but is not lateralizing (cf. déjà vu).
