Abstract
► Somatostatin [SST] mediates its central functions through receptors sst1-5. ► Intra-amygdalar or intra-septal infusion of SST reduced anxiety in the plus-maze. ► PRL2903, a selective sst2 antagonist, reversed these anxiolytic effects of SST. ► These findings suggest sst2 receptors in the amygdala and septum mediate anxiety.
