Relating to nerve impulses traveling in the opposite direction from normal, against the usual neural pathway.
From anti- (against) + dromal (from Greek drómos, 'running/course'). Medical term describing reversed neural conduction.
In neuroscience, antidromal stimulation is a clever trick—scientists make nerves fire backwards to understand how they normally work, like rewinding a video to study the mechanism.
