Alice in Wonderland Syndrome

In my neuropsych class I will need to present a unique neuropsychological disorder not covered in class at the end the semester.

Unlike many people I love giving presentations... this might be due to the fact that I love to talk and be the center of attention, but I digress. I think it's really centered around that fact that I love to share new and revealing knowledge with others.

For example Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. I had never heard of this before and my proff offered it as an example for a creative presentation project. So I over course being the "investigative bulldog" I am (Thanks Mary, haha) I looked into it.

Alice and Wonderland Syndrome is a perception disorder often onset by severe migraines, drugs, and sometimes high fever. It's not a hallucinogenic problem, it deals with perception of size. Those suffering will experience themselves being significantly larger or smaller then there surrounding. For example looking at a skyscraper and feeling as though you are larger then it, or small enough to fit in a pocket.

The name is then an amusing classification of a serious perception disorder akin to Alice's shifting size in the eating of "Wonderland Food".

I am hoping to find a neuropsych topic just as unique and interesting this semester, so I imagine I will be traveling down some rabbit holes of my own. haha sorry for the pun, I couldn't help it.
