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.
