neurons connecting to different cerebral areas
While there is indeed a word "afferent" as a medical adjective in English, I think this is the word is afferente is in the sense of connecting to, or leading to. (There is also a meaning of afferente which is that of "concerning")
Example sentence:
Interneurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord
On average, each neuron is connected to other neurons through about 10 000 synapses.

the excitation of neurons in different areas of the brain
"excitation of neurons" does exist, lots of hits. Given the register of your text, this may be an option.

: Excitement is part of the term in any case. The problem is what afferenti means.
