“…The same quadrant phenomenon has long been considered a mystery ( Chang et al, 2016 ). Although it has been observed and validated by many studies ( Peters, 1964 ; Webster, 1971 ; Fraher, 1972 ; Waxman and Swadlow, 1976 ; Berthold and Carlstedt, 1982 ; Bertram and Schröder, 1993 ; Schröder, 1996 ; Traill, 2005 ), only two previous works tried proposing possible mechanisms ( Traill, 2011 ; Fabbri, 2015 ). One is proposed by I. M. Fabbri (2015) .…”

“…In that case, the myelin sheath will be more like a spiral geometry, which is preferred for better handling power throughout the nervous system. Another is proposed by Robert R. Traill (2011) , who considers the myelinated nerve an optical fiber to transmit IR radiation. If the number of myelin lamellae is integral, the myelin sheath can form a perfect circle, which is beneficial for IR radiation as a standing wave to propagate.…”

In the development of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous systems, the inner and outer tongue of the myelin sheath tend to be located within the same quadrant, which was named as Peters quadrant mystery. In this study, we conduct in silico investigations to explore the possible mechanisms underlying the Peters quadrant mystery. A biophysically detailed model of oligodendrocytes was used to simulate the effect of the actional potential-induced electric field across the myelin sheath. Our simulation suggests that the paranodal channel connecting the inner and outer tongue forms a low impedance route, inducing two high-current zones at the area around the inner and outer tongue. When the inner tongue and outer tongue are located within the same quadrant, the interaction of these two high-current-zones will induce a maximum amplitude and a polarity reverse of the voltage upon the inner tongue, resulting in the same quadrant phenomenon. This model indicates that the growth of myelin follows a simple principle: an external negative or positive E-field can promote or inhibit the growth of the inner tongue, respectively.

“…Of course myelin already had a recognised vital role in AP-propagation, but this new insight suggested that its fibres had a dual role, now including IR-transmission 17 -so now apparently serving the two separate systems simultaneously; (Traill 1976a(Traill , 1978b(Traill , 1988(Traill , 2011.…”

Modelling human intelligence? Hyland identified three approaches: •Physiological, •Mentalistic (as if outside 3D space), and •Mechanistic. Arguably their apparent incompatibility arises from a mistaken choice of scale, centred on the synapse as a basic unit for thought. Instead RNA-codons are now proposed as those fundamental elements (cf. Hydén’s forgotten 1960s findings). This also seems compatible with both (i) information-technology’s digitisation, and (ii) Piaget’s concepts of “schèmes,” and developmental stages. For the more-complex code-structures (“schémata”) needed for higher Piagetian stages, their necessary physical configuration is then considered — packable into virus-like “boxes” (capsids —typically 125nm diameter). These could be free to relocate into cortex-“archives” — either within Rakic’s migratory new-neurons, or the bloodstream! Such ultra-miniaturisation needs to communicate by INFRA-RED signals — via myelin coaxial cables, but also somewhat free to operate radio-like, dependent on “call-sign” coding (like phone-numbers). Also any “radio-like” abilities would allow continued participation after relocation (as if mobile-phones using WiFi). Meanwhile traditional synaptic Action-Potential signalling is seen as analogue adjustment-signals: (i) in orthodox peripheral muscle-control, and (ii) as constantly updating deep-brain “wiring” via well-known Hebbian principles (an important, but secondary task — after main infra-red transmissions). Gut-contents have a surprise-role in mental abilities — a phenomenon which is also tentatively explained as a supplementary “useful-junk RNA” source. Piaget-as-Epistemologist saw “equilibration” (coherence) as the vital-but-fallible criterion for theory evaluation, both in the brain, and within science. That philosophy is applied here.

This chapter examines the practice of gender that underlie sexual orientation to appreciate the paradigm shift on talent and its practicality in advancing organizational effectiveness and bottom line results in successful enterprise. The discussion progresses the notion to accept the sexual identity men and women choose to progress their careers. Emotional intelligence is drawn to appreciate its impact on managerial controls and performance. Top managerial positions in enterprises have been regarded as male or female enclaves in many cultures around the globe. The trend to reflect gender as a possible social construct continues to increase in enterprises that value diversity. Change management technology is examined to how exercised by women to that of men can impact profitability and to comprehend whether there are any traits attributed to any specific gender. The perspectives are applied to model an organization acquiescent to increasing productivity in a variety of settings.
