- Stress (biology) for example, before an examination.
- Alcohol: People suffering from such a conditions may also lose consciousness for a certain time.
- Interrupting the supply of oxygen or blood to the brain
- Injuries to the brain

After the cause is gone full mental powers are usually restored, although there may be a blank in memory.
