A Stretch Reflex Controlling Wingbeat Frequency in Grasshoppers
Abstract
The stretch receptors of the wing hinge of the locust Schistocerca fire once or twice at the top of the wingstroke during normal flight. Removal of the four stretch receptors results in a decrease of the wingstroke frequency to about one-half normal. Interference with the normal timing of the stretch-receptor input (mechanically or by electrical stimulation) does not affect the normal wingstroke frequency. With respect to this sensory source the centrally generated motor output pattern is independent of input phase. The results are discussed briefly in relation to the question of central v. peripheral control of locomotion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
