Encyclopedia > Afferent

In nervous systems, afferent signals or nerve fibers carry information toward the brain. A touch or painful stimulus, for example, creates a sensation in the brain only after information about the stimulus travels there via afferent nerves pathways. Efferent nerves and signals carry information away from the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, nerves are dedicated exclusively to either afferent or efferent signalling.

Mike Travers -- Afferent/MDL -- Drug Discovery (853 words)
The Afferent software consists of three layers: an object model that defines the ontology of the drug discovery process and provides a way to store and manipulate the relevant objects, a user interface that makes this data visible to the user, and application-level code that provides the virtual chemistry and other logic.
AfferentÒ³ object model includes the basic objects found in other chemistry software (molecules and reactions) but goes beyond them to store complex objects such as libraries and synthesis protocols.
Another benefit of writing the Afferent applications in Lisp is the ability to rapidly evolve the code base, and even generate new applications.
