"In these experiments, all the cells of the hippocampus immunoreactive for somatostatin were strongly immunoreactive for mGluR[metabotropic glutamate receptor]lalpha, and likewise the cells immunoreactive for mGluRla were also immunoreactive for somatostatin (Figures 2A and 2B)."
Interpretation notes: Glutamatergic and GABAergic SOM+ types in DG Smo_Smi_SG_H are probably mGluR1a+
"Some well characterized interneurons are, however, covered densely by dendritic spines. These are the hippocampal O-LM [oriens-lacunosum moleculare] and the dentate
gyrus hilar perforant path-associated (HIPP) cells. Both cell types contain the neuropeptide somatostatin; and their dendrites, with prominent spines, can be visualized by immunostaining against mGluR[metabotropic glutamate receptor]1, substance P receptors, or in some cases calretinin (Freund and Buzsaki, 1996)."
