title: New somatostatin-containing sites in the diencephalon of the neonatal rat.
abstract: Using an immunohistochemical technique, the present study demonstrated several new somatostatin-containing sites in the diencephalon of neonatal rats which have not been reported in adult animals. These areas are the area just lateral to the commissura posterior, the area between the optic tract and capsula interna, pars retrolenticularis and n. peripeduncularis.
