Parkinson's artificial brain bank. 17 June 2011Last updated at 17:12 By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News Brain cells grown from the skin cells of a Parkinson's patient are likely to deteriorate Researchers in Oxford have begun creating a bank of artificially grown brain cells from Parkinson's patients, BBC news has learned.

They are using a new stem cell technique that allows them to turn a small piece of skin from the patient into a small piece of brain. This is the first time this has been done in a large-scale study aimed at finding cures for the disease. Researchers say they can analyse nerve cells as they start to deteriorate. The first batch of nerve cells have been grown from a 56-year-old Oxfordshire man, Derek Underwood. He had to take early retirement because of the progression of the disease. Mr Underwood will be the first of 50 patients whose skin cells will be grown into brain cells as part of a five year study. Lab brain Genes are inserted into the skin cells, reprogramming them to become something else.

N E U R A L P O W E R. NeuralWare's NeuralWorks Predict engine provides the technology foundation for the NeuralPower product suite.

N E U R A L P O W E R

The Predict engine comprises a set of rigorously engineered software libraries written in C. NeuralPower Graphical User Interface components are written in Java. NeuralPower Modeler creates forecasting models using genetic algorithm and neural network training capabilities contained in the Predict engine's development package. Modeler creates an ensemble of neural networks to produce hour-ending forecasts for the current day and one day in the future. Networks that produce day-ahead forecasts are also used to generate forecasts for all other future days. NeuralPower Forecaster and Scheduler use the Predict engine's run-time package to execute models that produce forecast plots as well as structured files which can be easily imported by other software that requires accurate demand and/or price forecasts.
