Abstract
This paper provides a theoretical complement to the authors' previous paper from the spatialfilter point of view.
First, the spatial loop transfer function is introduced as a successful means of explaining the spatial frequency characteristics of the computer model.
Next, a continuous model is introduced on the basis of stochastic considerations showing the generality of the spatial characteristics of the computer model.
The conclusion is that the systems recurrently inhibited through the parallel fibers are apt to relatively intensify the spatial wave components with wavefronts crossing the parallel fibers.
Thus, a suggestion is derived that Golgi cells may tend to arrange the transfer gain of mossy fiber input in a wave-like manner along parallel fibers.
