Special Containment Procedures

Eighty percent of all neurological research institutions are as of now under direct Foundation leadership. The remaining twenty percent should be supervised for any findings related to the temporal lobe's function; should a discovery regarding SCP-69420's nature be made, all relevant material should be altered, discredited or purged.

Description

SCP-69420 is the human dentate gyrus, a component of the hippocampus.¹ More specifically, it refers to the configuration of the DG found in approximately 83% of the human population (hereby designated SCP-69420-1). Prior to its SCP classification, it was thought that the dentate gyrus's function was that of creating episodic memories and facilitating learning by way of forming new synaptic paths. However, a 2016 study published by the (now defunct) Sofia Institute of Neurology (SIN) has found that, in some of the test subjects, instead of synapses, the DG created previously unobserved neuron conglomerates with higher than normal electrical activity. Due to limiting technology, the exact nature and effects of said conglomerates had not been discovered at the time, but the study nevertheless attracted the Foundation's attention.

Insert excerpt from the study + pic of shiny sparkly neurons

SCP-69420's anomalous effects manifest when an SCP-69420-1 instance attempts to access its long-term memory. When such an action is initiated, the instance's consciousness becomes fragmented, and the fragment(s) that are not in control of the body are temporally displaced to the moment of the targeted event.

List of ideas I'm too lazy to write

• tale: when a thoughtform is created, what's the first things it feels?
• canon: more and more anomalies are created by the collective consciousness, the foundation decides to yeet imagination so anomalies stop forming. Bleak reality ensues
• skip: I'm shy uwu *breaches containment*
