somatostatin and neurotransmitter release
Somatostatin is a hormone involved in inhibiting the release of various neurotransmitters in the brain and other parts of the body. It acts as a regulator, reducing the amount of neurotransmitter that is released from nerve cells, thereby modulating neuronal activity and controlling certain physiological processes.
