About Regrowing Limbs

If a salamander is injured, it can repair the damage much better than
a human. If part of the salamander's heart, eye or brain is removed, a
replacement part re-grows in its place. If they lose a leg, a new one
is grown.

Comparing this phenomenon to a frog, closely related to a salamander,
but not able to regenerate new parts, a remarkable discovery was made.
When a frog or a salamander is first injured, positive electrical
voltage can be measured at the injury. With the salamander, the
electricity soon switches to a strong negative voltage, but with the
frog, the voltage stays positive.

When a negative voltage is applied to an injured frog, will it grow a
new limb?
