The neuropeptide somatostatin (SS) and its binding sites display a wide distribution in the central nervous system of vertebrates. By employing semi-quantitative autoradiography, we identified such binding sites in the brain of the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus (Gymnotiformes, Teleostei). Whereas (SS1) binding sites for the octapeptide analogue Tyr3-SMS-201-995 appear to be absent in the gymnotiform brain, (SS2) binding sites for the analogue [Tyr0-D-Trp8]-somatostatin-14 were found in many brain regions and showed a similar distribution to that observed by other authors in the amphibian and mammalian central nervous system. Telencephalon While binding in the ventral telencephalon was typically low, all cell groups of the dorsal portion displayed a high degree of binding. The highest density of binding sites was found in the dorsal and caudal subdivision 2 of the dorsomedial telencephalon. Diencephalon Many cell groups of the diencephalon showed a medium to high degree of binding density. The highest level was seen in the habenula. Mesencephalon All layers of the optic tectum contained a medium number of binding sites, except the stratum marginale. In the torus semicircularis, the different layers displayed distinct binding density. While laminae 7-8 showed the highest degree of binding, the lowest density was found in lamina 6. Rhombencephalon Binding was generally low or absent in the tegmentum. Low levels of binding density were observed in the electrosensory lateral line lobe. Cerebellum Extremely high levels of binding were found in the eminentia granularis medialis and the eminentia granularis posterior. Throughout most regions of the brain, the relative density of binding sites and the relative amount of somatostatin immunoreactivity in fibres, as determined in previous studies, were in good agreement.
