The scientist traced the afferents from the skin to the spinal cord to map sensory pathways.

The surgeon traced the afferent to locate the source of the lesion.

The afferent fibers transmitted sensory information from the skin to the spinal cord.

Sensory neurons carry information afferently to the central nervous system.

Neuroscientists measured the afferences arriving at the spinal cord during the reflex test.

After the spinal injury, the patient's afference was impaired, reducing the brain's awareness of limb position.

The afferented dorsal horn neurons responded robustly to the tactile stimulus.
