About the JournalAbstract
Experiential auras such as déjà vu and jamais vu are distinctive manifestations of temporal lobe epilepsy. We report a young adult presenting with recurrent episodes of altered familiarity perception associated with unilateral piloerection. This case highlights the neurobiological basis of novelty–familiarity circuits and their disruption in focal epilepsy, and underscores the diagnostic value of experiential and autonomic auras.
