Abstract
In continuation of a previous paper, the auxiliary signal focussing properties of more complicated spinal neuronal networks are considered here. Special emphasis is put on the distributive function of the recurrent feedback system of alpha-motoneurones, but also the inhomogeneous distribution of excitatory and inhibitor input to motoneurones is taken into account as an essential prerequisite for signal focussing. Simple hypothetical calculations for steady-state conditions yield a more vivid insight into the interaction of the two types of neuronal circuitry contributing to signal focussing.Entities:
