This article describes the response characteristics of AN3, an auditory ascending neuron in the prothoracic ganglion, and its projections within the brain. The AN3 , with a quasi-tonic discharge pattern, has high sensitivity, directionality and ability to encode sound intensity. Therefore, it plays an important role in auditory information processing of CNS. Its projections in the brain are mainly concentrated in the lateral zone of the deutencephalon, where synaptically connecting local auditory interneurons in the brain. | 1992 | Chinese Journal of Acoustics1992，11，1： | 3 |
