I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the less literal 'afferent' is more common, though.

Thank you Sindy.
agree SJLD : agree as a literal translation but I would certainly reword to use the adjectival form "afferent" which is much more idiomatic in English

agree writeaway : it' afférent in French too. if the NL Dutch don't know the term, it's probably Belgian and derived from the French.
