Lewis Carroll's delightful children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland turns 150 this year. But there's another, less celebrated Wonderland-related anniversary occurring this year: the discovery of Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), a disorder named in honor of the book. This syndrome, named in 1955 by British psychiatrist John Todd, has long been known to co-occur with some migraines.

Related names Skylar, Skyler, Schuylar Schuyler (/ Ë s k aÉª l Ér /) is a given name that, together with many variants, including Schuller, is derived from the Dutch surname Schuyler, which in its turn is an adaptation of the German name SchÃ¼ler. In the United States it is used for both boys and girls, typically with the alternative phonetic spellings Skylar and Skyler.
