Opposite of afference? In the nerves, 'afference' is:

1.
conducting or conducted inward or toward something (for nerves, the central nervous system; for blood vessels, the organ supplied).
Eileen Brophy (asker) Jun 25, 2015:
Sorry I should have written ictus, or stroke
Anne Schulz Jun 25, 2015:
Not unlikely "deafferentation", but what is "an ichtus"?
