Back to the Past

I recently moved back to an area that my family lived in from roughly my birth to my 8th birthday. I live about 5 blocks from where I was born. Even though I had not been back here in many, many years and have no ties to this area, I felt almost immediately comfortable here. When I walk around, I have a sort of feeling of deja-vu and certain buildings look sort of familiar to me but I’m not really sure if these are real memories or not. I wonder if there’s a name for this? When your subconscious recognizes things that your conscious does not. I know my mother walked everywhere with me when I was little and I suppose there must be some sort of lizard-memory at work.
