Abstract
This paper presents theoretical considerations on the possibility of topographically ordered signal transmission in the control system of the muscle stretch reflex. It is investigated how correlations between Ia fibres from primary muscle spindle endings in conjunction with an appropriate connectivity of Ia fibres and motoneurones enable the stretch reflex system to trace local routes through the spinal cord. The complex data processing capabilities of the motoneuronal soma-dendritic membrane system are fully taken into account, and it is argued that correlations between inputs to this system may play an important role for signal transmission through the spinal cord.
