- Identification of the brain structures in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the rat is very important for the experimental work of many neuroscientists. Our intention was to recognize most of the structures without overlapping the MRI sections with the histological templates. Three live rats were used for this study who were examined in a micro-MRI apparatus by performing T2-weighted sequences in serial brain sections. Most of the white matter structures were easily identified, e.g. the anterior commissure, corpus callosum with forceps minor and major, cingulum, external and internal capsules, fornix, stria medullaris and terminalis, cranial nerves, mammillothalamic tract, fasciculus retroflexus, medial and lateral lemniscus, posterior commissure, commissures of the superior and inferior colliculi, medial longitudinal fasciculus, and the cerebral peduncle. Large and small gray matter structures were recognized as well, for example, the anterior olfactory structures, nucleus accumbens, caudate putamen, claustrum, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, pituitary gland, globus pallidus, amygdala, some midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei, certain hypothalamic nuclei, hippocampal formation, pineal body, periaqueductal gray matter, lateral and medial geniculate bodies, superior and inferior colliculi, and cranial nerves nuclei. All in all, of the total 160 recognized brain structures, 77 were identified without using the corresponding histological atlases. We believe that our labeled MRI pictures could be an important way for quick orientation for evaluating the effects of the experimental work regarding the rat brain.

- Printed conductors have attracted strong interest in academia as well as the industry. While first applications using printed conductors on flat as well as curved surfaces are establishing in the market, extensive research still is conducted on the postprocessing technologies needed for high-volume fabrication of solution processed conductors. With regards to the potential low-cost, high-throughput manufacturing of conductors on inexpensive polymeric foils, new applications start to evolve that call for an even more elaborate investigation of the printing and post-processing steps included. This paper assesses the potential of inkjet-printed conductors for the use in low-pressure environments, such as linear ion-traps for mass spectrometry. In these environments remainders of trapped air or organic solvents affect the performance and lifetime of the getter pump systems used. Additionally, high frequency characteristics of the processed conductors are investigated as these are essential for the sensitivity of an ion trap. In this contribution we establish the framework for the application of conductive Inkjet printing on curved surfaces for sensing application in low-pressure environments. Inkjet-deposited nanoparticle inks were investigated with respect to their characteristics under vacuum conditions. The deposits on polymeric foils as well as on DLP processed three-dimensional semi-finished parts were subjected to thermal post-processing and measured with respect to their electrical characteristics as well as their outgassing behavior.
