somatostatin-14 binding site populations were observed in numerous hypothalamic areas including the preoptic area where the receptors likely account for self-inhibition of somatostatin release , the supraoptic nucleus , the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis , the anterior hypothalamic nucleus , the perifornical area , the zona incerta and a mediolateral area located laterally to the ventromedian and dorsomedian nuclei and limited laterally by the mammillo-thalamic tract , the fornix and the optic tract .
