Elisabeth Calder  asked the Naked Scientists:
   First I´d like to say that i really enjoy your show (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/):P
I was wondering how long someone can be in a coma before it starts damages your brain? And why does dehydration often feel like hunger, surely this must be why many over eat?
