Proprioceptive inputs to nonspiking local interneurons contribute to local reflexes of a locust hindleg

Local reflexes of a leg of the locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) can be elicited by selective stimulation of a proprioceptor (the femoral chordotonal organ) at the femorotibial joint. Motor neurons are either excited or inhibited, so that a coordinated reflex response of a leg results. At the s...
