Abstract
The present study clearly disclosed that the auditory system of the neonatal rat contains a large number of somatostatin (SRIF)-positive structures. Among them, n. cochlearis dorsalis and ventralis, n. ventralis lemnisci lateralis and n. parabrachialis colliculi inferioris contain huge collections of SRIF-positive neurons. Furthermore, the rat auditory system in general contains a number of SRIF-positive fibers.
