I mean what my brain system gives "the conclusion" ( or say, some tag, flag, "understanding", etc.) to my consciousness/mind about that some my mood was in the past. Is there any research in this way? Could you provide any references?
@ Anatoly
This mechanism looked for by you, is the episodic memory, which records events in time sequence. It works in such a way that further observations transforms the time-scale into the spatial distribution in the neighboring fields synaptic. These distributions are recognized as models of typical objects. The brain has the ability to detect similarities of arousal configuration (actually a distribution of electric fields in the synaptic fields. See the work of Aur and Yog and Perlovsky or my in Polish) so it can not only recognize object patterns , but the similarity of the events could be also recognize as mere objects.
Dear Sirs,
I meant the word "consciousness/mind" . I asked about healthy people memory not about sick ones like musician Wearing or HM or about Sack`s books! I am not interested in the memory of sick people.
I mean that the answers to my question will be at psychological level, biological (brain cell) level, electrophysiological level, etc.
Please do not hesitate reply me on my mistakes.
Thank you for an advance,
Anatoly Khripov PhD
But the stories about Wearing, HM, the Sack`s one do not answer to my question "How (what mechanism is) does the mood "I know this stuff was in my past" appear? I do not ask you for whole psychology of memory at all.
I just ask you for my personal special mood (in psychology it is called the mood of familiarity) which appears when I remember something. I feel that some information which appears now in my brain happened in my past. How is this feeling of familiarity (in respect to time) formed? What are brain mechanism of it at different levels:consciousness, neural networks, electrical signals, single neurons, chemistry? Could you provide modern references?
Dear Sirs,
Look at this fascinating reseach from MIT:

Good luck to Dr. Tonegawa work which replied to my question.
Could anybody comment this research?
Does anybody know NMR microscopy research at this way? Optogenetics seemed to be of course invasive and destructive method.
There is something called prospective memory and this is when we need to remember to do something when an event occurs. It has been used in things like anger management, so that when a person feels a certain mood coming on then they must remember to act in a certain way.
You have also got flashbulb memories, where you have a very intense recollection of a certain event, for example where you were when 9/11 happened. In these kind of memories you remember what you were feeling and the memory is in greater detail compared to other memories. It does not have to be a negative memory, it could be a really positive personal memory like meeting your partner for the first time. We believe that these types of memories involve the amygdala and the PFC. We know that the thalamus and the amygdala are associated with emotions, and we know that the hippocampus and the PFC are responsible for creating and recovering memories so my guess is that all these brain areas are involved.
You might want to look at emotional memory.

Dear Anatoly, please try to have a look some papers in the attachment to my letter. You should think about mechanism of "deja vu", also.
