<p>In this episode of <em>The Disappearing Spoon</em>, Sam Kean talks about memory fugues, a psychological disorder that wipes out biographical information from people’s brains. It is estimated that roughly 1 in 100,000 people seeking help for mental disorders have them. This disorder happens worldwide and it usually afflicts people in their 20s. Scientists have only recently started to piece together what is going on in the brains of those impaired by it.</p> <h2>Credits</h2> <p>Host: <a href="https://samkean.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://samkean.com/">Sam Kean</a><br /> Senior Producer: <a href="../../../profile/mariel-carr" data-cke-saved-href="/profile/mariel-carr">Mariel Carr</a><br /> Producer: <a href="../../../profile/rigoberto-hernandez" data-cke-saved-href="/profile/rigoberto-hernandez">Rigoberto Hernandez</a><br /> Audio Engineer: <a href="http://jamesmorrison.pressfolios.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href= "http://jamesmorrison.pressfolios.com/">J</a><a href= "https://www.podbrain.org/" data-cke-saved-href= "https://www.podbrain.org/">onathan Pfeffer</a></p>
