Somatostatin interneurons are novel mediators of serotonergic modulation in entorhinal cortex via activation of 5-HT2A receptors, a receptor involved in the etiology of different psychiatric disorders.

The cyclic neuropeptide somatostatin binds to human Aβ1-42 through an interface that critically relies on a specific tryptophan, thereby blocking the propensity of Aβ to aggregate, a critical step in the pathobiology of Alzheimer's disease.
The atomic resolution cryo-EM structure of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) provides insights into the mechanism by which SSTRs recognize their ligands and will serve as a platform to develop selective agonists and therapeutics.

RNA sequencing and conditional Nova mutants reveal that Nova protein function is necessary for activity-dependent alternative splicing of synaptic genes within somatostatin cortical interneurons and regulates its afferent and efferent connectivity.
The midbrain area for salience, reward and aversion in mouse brain harbours among the dopamine cells three subtypes somatostatin-expressing neurons that show combinatorial neurotransmitter phenotypes and interneuron properties.
Somatostatin-expressing interneurons of the rodent dentate gyrus fall into at least two functionally distinct interneuron types with different synaptic integrations into the local dentate gyrus and the more distant medial septum neuronal network.
Presynaptic GABAB receptors are highly expressed and strongly suppress synaptic transmission at the input and output of hippocampal somatostatin interneurons.
Subtypes of dendrite-targeting somatostatin cells segregate into separate networks by specifically connecting with neurons in different layers, forming circuits that could independently control different input pathways to the neocortex.

Gamma rhythms and representation of visual information in the primary visual cortex are specifically modulated by somatostatin+ but not parvalbumin+ neurons in reticular thalamic nucleus.
Expansion microscopy combined with light-sheet and STED microscopy elucidated the spatial organization and subcellular composition of two distinct GABAergic CSF-c neuronal subtypes in the lamprey spinal cord.
