Dr. Galal Said, a neurosurgeon and fellow at Washington University in St. Louis, explained that amnesia is a complex condition, often caused by brain trauma, and it doesn't align with the circumstances of the people discussed in the episode. So, while amnesia is an intriguing concept, it's unlikely to be the explanation for their experiences.
Specific injuries to hippocampus and entorhinal cortex can cause amnesia: New research shows that injuries beyond significant trauma can lead to memory loss, including vascular issues, aberrant circuits, or underlying diseases impacting the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex.
Amnesia, a condition characterized by memory loss, typically requires significant trauma to bilateral areas of the brain, including the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. However, recent research suggests that more specific injuries to these areas can also lead to memory loss. These injuries can result from vascular issues, aberrant circuits, or underlying diseases. The experience of amnesia can range from forgetting small details to entire gaps of time. While it's rare to forget hours of unaccounted time, it's possible, and individuals would likely notice side effects such as pain and confusion if they experienced such trauma. Most memory loss involves forgetting episodes that last seconds to minutes.
Unexplained amnesia: Causes and potential explanations: Unexplained amnesia, including hours-long fugue states, may be linked to brain diseases or medications. Shorter periods of amnesia could be due to toxicology. Consult a doctor if experiencing such symptoms.
Unexplained periods of amnesia, such as hours-long fugue states, are relatively uncommon and may be linked to underlying structural brain diseases or issues with brain circuitry. However, for shorter periods of amnesia, potential causes could include toxicology or the effects of certain medications. It's important to consult a physician if experiencing such symptoms, as they may indicate an underlying health issue. The causes of sudden jumps in time with no memory of the intervening period remain unexplained. In the context of the discussion, the speaker mentioned a hypothetical situation of waking up with no memory of several hours, passing a drug test, and feeling completely normal, which would be unusual. Overall, the understanding of these conditions is ongoing, and more research is needed to conclusively determine their causes.
A brief night out at a house party: Despite their social nature, the speakers had limited time for partying due to their commitments. They attended a house party but left early due to obligations. House parties were the main social scene, and they usually brought their own alcohol. The speakers were mostly surrounded by football players and didn't find it particularly exciting.

Unexplained Event in a Dorm Room: Two teammates woke up in identical positions with no memory of how much time had passed, having last been in the same room searching for a necklace.
The speaker and his teammate experienced an unexplained event where they both woke up in the same dorm room, in identical positions, with no memory of how they got there or how much time had passed. They had been searching for a necklace in a teammate's dorm room before the incident occurred. When they came to, they were not tired or rested, and multiple hours had passed according to the time on their phones. The strange occurrence left them both confused and unable to explain what had happened. The speaker emphasized that they had not slept and had not woken each other up, but rather had both come to consciousness at the same time. The experience left a lasting impression on the speaker, as it was something he could not easily explain or understand.
Navigating an Unexpected Situation: In unexpected situations, focus on staying calm and gathering information to understand what has occurred.

Both were in a state of shock and tried to make sense of the situation in different ways. The speaker's first instinct was to check their body for any signs of intrusion or injury, but they found nothing. They then joined their teammate in the main area, where they both continued to try to piece together what had happened. The incident highlights the different ways that individuals may react to a shocking situation, and the importance of staying calm and gathering information to understand what has occurred.
Mystery of the Missing Night: Two athletes couldn't explain how they ended up in each other's beds despite ruling out common causes and no signs of forced entry or intruders.
The mysterious event where two individuals found themselves inexplicably in each other's beds could not be explained by common causes such as alcohol, roofies, or someone else lifting them onto the elevated dorm bed. The individuals, who were both athletes and of significant size, had ruled out these possibilities through careful consideration and elimination of potential explanations. The dorm was secured with only one teammate having the code, and there were no signs of forced entry or security camera footage to suggest an intruder. The individuals were left perplexed and shaken, unable to come up with a satisfactory explanation for the unexplained event.
Unexplained loss of time leaves individuals puzzled: Individuals experienced a sudden change of location and lost time without explanation, but remained mentally clear and couldn't identify potential causes.
The individuals involved in this experience reported feeling completely normal after an unexplained loss of time, despite ruling out potential explanations such as drugs or alcohol. Their gut reactions led them to consider paranormal possibilities, but they couldn't explain the lack of missing time or blackouts typically associated with such experiences. The change of location and physical position was sudden and disorienting, but their mental faculties remained intact throughout. This mysterious event left them with a sense of unease and a lingering question about the nature of their experience.
Embracing the Unknown: A Personal Story of Acceptance: Accepting the unknown can lead to personal growth, even if some experiences remain unexplained.
Sometimes unexplainable experiences can significantly impact our lives, but it's essential to find a way to accept the unknown and move forward. The speaker shares her experience of encountering something strange in college that left her questioning reality. She found that sharing her story with people who didn't take it seriously or tried to rationalize it only added to her frustration. Eventually, she and her friend decided to stop talking about it to avoid being consumed by the mystery. Years later, she has come to terms with the fact that she may never know what truly happened. Instead, she focuses on living her life and enjoying experiences that bring her joy, like the fresh smell of spring and the convenience of using Pretty Litter for her cat's needs. The unpredictability of life can be unsettling, but embracing the unknown and finding peace with uncertainty can lead to personal growth.
