Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of d?j? vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the d?j? vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past).
