Tod's Syndrome

"Alice In Wonderland Syndrome"

Tod's syndrome also known as "Alice in wonderland syndrome " is a disorienting neuropsychological condition that affects perception, body schema, and the experience of time. This condition mainly affects children or young adults.

WHAT IS IT?

First described in 1955, The name refers to Lewis Carroll's well-known children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice feels (among other things) her body growing both larger and smaller. After about 60 years of observation scientist renewed interest in this disorder because of the current possibility to explore the brain's networks responsible for mediating its symptoms with the aid of functional imaging techniques. The most common perceptions usually occur at night. This altered state can cause objects to appear smaller, bigger, closer, or farther away than they really are. It is believed that at least 10 percent of the population experiences these effects at least once in their lifetime. The causes for AIWS are still not known exactly.
