          Familiar Objects Can Prevent Autism-Like Behaviors in Mouse Model

          Exposing mice with the autism-associated SHANK3 genetic mutation to new environments can trigger autism-like behaviors, including repetitive movements and problems with social engagement. However, adding familiar objects to the novel environment during the first exposure can reduce the behavioral and brain signaling deficits.

          ‘I knew that was going to happen:’ Déjà vu and the ‘postdictive’ bias

          When intense feelings of prediction accompanied deja vu, they were strongly correlated with feelings of postdiction. High degrees of familiarity that accompany deja vu also carry through to postdictive bias.

          A New Theory for What’s Happening in the Brain When Something Looks Familiar

          A new theory suggests the brain understands the level of activation required from a sensory input and corrects for it, leaving behind a signal for familiarity.

          A New Theory for What’s Happening In the Brain When Something Looks Familiar

          Researchers propose a new theory of what happens in the brain when we experience familiar seeming visual stimuli. The theory, dubbed sensory referenced suppression, suggests the brain understands different levels of activation expected for sensory input and corrects for it, leaving behind the signal for familiarity.
