1. In a manner involving conduction or movement in the opposite direction to the normal or expected direction, especially in physiology regarding nerve impulses.
Usage: technical; medical/physiological context

Examples

• The nerve impulse traveled antidromically along the axon, moving backward from the terminal to the cell body.
• In the experiment, stimulation was applied antidromically to test the neuron's response properties.
• The signal propagated antidromically through the neural pathway, contrary to its typical direction of transmission.
