Antidromic activation is often induced experimentally by direct electrical stimulation of a presumed target structure. Antidromic activation is often used in a laboratory setting to confirm that a neuron being recorded from projects to the structure of interest.
Antidromic activation is typically induced artificially through direct electrical stimulation of a suspected target area. In laboratory settings, this technique is employed to verify that the neuron being monitored projects its signals to the desired location.
