Abstract
ABSTRACT Imposed changes in activity of a joint angle receptor of the locust leg, the metathoracic femoral chordotonal organ, produce variable, phasic reflex responses in a leg extensor motoneurone in untrained animals. After training the locust to maintain a posture in extension beyond a minimum required joint angle, these reflexes are consistently tonic and excitatory. This plasticity of reflex responsiveness permits the locust to couple motoneurone firing to afferent activity when receptor input is behaviourally relevant.
