Abstract: A key feature of the locusts hind leg control system is a reflex loop that uses a stretch sensor, the Femoral Chordotonal organ, to monitor the position and movements of the tibia relative to the femur. A population of non-spiking local interneurons in the metathoracic ganglia receive synaptic inputs from the sensory neurons in the chordotonal organ and indirect inputs from other interneurons. They function to integrate these signals and generate the motor pattern required for coordinated limb movement. Nonlinear Volterra models combined with Gaussian white noise stimulation have, for the first time, been used to characterise the dynamics of this population of interneurons. The results show that the interneurons can be clustered into three groups, those which are position, position/velocity and velocity sensitive.
