The peptide somatostatin can modulate the functional output of the basal ganglia. The exact
sites and mechanisms of this action, however, are poorly understood, and the physiological …

Somatostatin is known to have diverse neurophysiological effects in the mammalian CNS.
To date, genes for five different receptors, termed sst1–5, have been isolated. Recently …

Somatostatin mediates its diverse physiological effects through a family of five G-protein-
coupled receptors (sst1–sst5); however, knowledge about the distribution of individual …

The cloning of five members of the somatostatin receptor family, sst1-sst5, as well as two
isoforms of the somatostatin receptor 2, sst2A and sst2B, enabled us to generate specific …

Somatostatin is a neuromodulator in the mammalian CNS. To date, genes for at least five
different somatotrophin release inhibiting factor receptors, termed sst1–sst5, have been …

The neuropeptide somatostatin has been suggested to play an important role during
neuronal development in addition to its established modulatory impact on neuroendocrine …

The involvement of striatal somatostatin receptors (sst 1, sst 2 and sst 4) in locomotor activity
was investigated. Male Sprague–Dawley rats, 280–350 g, received in the striatum bilateral …

Biological actions of somatostatin are exerted via a family of receptors, for which five genes
recently have been cloned. However, none of these receptor proteins has been visualized …

Somatostatin (SRIF) controls many physiological and pathological processes in the central
nervous system but the respective roles of the five receptor isotypes (sst1–5) that mediate its …

At least five different types of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs): SSTR1-5 have been recently
cloned. Here, we report the distribution of somatostatin receptor 3 (SSTR3) mRNA in spinal …
