Ms. Couric, 69, said Monday on Substack that she went blank as her husband drove her to Colorado\u2019s Aspen Ideas Festival last month, unable to recall the month, year or the president and believing it was 2024.<\/p>\n

The former host of NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show currently hosts the \u201cNext Question\u201d podcast and produces the daily \u201cWake-Up Call\u201d newsletter.<\/p>\n

According to the National Institutes of Health, transient global amnesia affects 3 to 10 people per 100,000 annually, rising to 23 to 32 people per 100,000 for those 50 and older.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People lose memories and the ability to form new ones, but retain their identity, normal cognitive function and ability to name objects. Episodes usually last one to 24 hours.<\/p>\n

A neurologist told NBC that the brain\u2019s memory function is \u201cintricately complex\u201d and said this kind of rare blip \u201cshouldn\u2019t be as scary as it sounds,\u201d adding it has no link to Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia.<\/p>\n

Doctors sometimes trace episodes to stress, heavy exertion, previous migraines, mini-seizures or strokes, but a trigger isn\u2019t always found, and people typically resume normal life afterward.<\/p>\n
