Popis: The active reaction upon stimulation of the femoral chordotonal organ in stick insects is known to control velocity and endpoint of flexion movements of the femur-tibia joint (Bassler 1988). This article presents evidence that spiking interneurones in the ventral anterior median part of the adjacent ganglion participate in the generation of the active reaction as well as non-spiking interneurones in the dorsal lateral region do. Three different kinds of experiments lead to this conclusion
