The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Little is known about expression and function of the somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea. We have previously shown that somatostatin administration may have a protective effect on gentamicin-induced hair cell loss. In this study,
