Somatostatin (SS)-containing neurons were mapped in the normal infant hypothalamus with immunohistochemistry, using the peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique. Neurons displaying SS immunoreactivity show a widespread distribution throughout the hypothalamic region. Principal SS-immunoreactive like (SS-IL) perikarya are located in the paraventricular, infundibular and posterior nuclei and in the preoptic region. High SS innervation is also found in the ventromedial and in the lateral mammillary nuclei, and in the median eminence. In general this distribution of SS-IL agrees well with that reported for rat. Compared to the immunohistochemical distribution of SS in human adult hypothalamus, this mapping in the infant hypothalamus is grossly similar. However some differences may be underlined: the presence of a moderately dense group of SS-IL perikarya in the tuberal and posterior nuclei, and a dense innervation of the ventromedial nucleus and in the median eminence. This first detailed distribution of SS immunoreactivity in infant hypothalamus can provide basic knowledge for further studies of infant neuropathology.
