Stem cells, dead neurons and appetite - some Mad Sci(ence)

MadSci Network is an online question and answer forum where scientists respond to questions within their speciality.  In my case, this is Neuroscience and Physiology.

Here are links to some of the answers I have written to a range of questions, including:

"What is a cell pattern in an animal's body and organ system?"
MadSci - Cell pattern

"Does the distance a nerve impulse travels affect the speed of response?"
MadSci - Nerve impulses

"Why are there stem cells in cord blood of newborns? How are scientists intending to use them for research?
MadSci - Stem Cells
