Magnetic excitations were studied by inelastic neutron scattering on various manganites that exhibit charge, orbital and spin ordering. At half-doping the magnetic excitation spectra can be perfectly modelled by a simple Heisenberg model of magnetic interaction which perfectly agrees with the Goodenough scenario of charge and orbital ordering. There seems to be no qualitative difference in all the half-doped manganites studies so far irrespective of their layered or three-dimensional character. For higher doping we observe a stripe-like arrangement of the electronic and magnetic ordering. Furthermore the magnetic excitation spectra closely resemble the hour-glass like dispersion observed in many high-temperature superconducting cuprates. Besides a large ratio of intra- to inter-stripe magnetic inteaction parameters, a short range of the magnetic ordering perpendicular to the stripes can be identified as decisive parameter to induce a hour-glass dispersion in insulating stripe phases.
