Circuit dissection of the role of somatostatin in itch and pain [PDF]
Stimuli that elicit itch are detected by sensory neurons that innervate the skin. This information is processed by the spinal cord; however, the way in which this occurs is still poorly understood.

Reduced brain somatostatin in mood disorders: a common pathophysiological substrate and drug target?
Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of affect dysregulation has progressively increased, but the pharmacological treatments remain inadequate. Here, we summarize the current literature on deficits in somatostatin, an inhibitory modulatory neuropeptide ...

Cortical somatostatin interneuron subtypes form cell-type-specific circuits
The cardinal interneuron classes are a useful simplification of cortical interneuron diversity, but such broad subgroupings glosses over the molecular, morphological, and circuit specificity of interneuron subtypes, most notably among the somatostatin ...

Role of somatostatin receptor-2 in gentamicin-induced auditory hair cell loss in the Mammalian inner ear. [PDF]
Hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons of the mammalian auditory system do not regenerate, and their loss leads to irreversible hearing loss. Aminoglycosides induce auditory hair cell death in vitro, and evidence suggests that phosphatidylinositol-3 ...
