Electrical signals of injury
When a young frog loses a limb, the healthy side of the body flashes a mirroring bioelectric signal. Researchers at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University uncovered this strange phenomenon in a newly published study. They hope it could one day be the basis for distant site diagnostics—learning about an internal injury by looking elsewhere in the body.
