GAP is attributed and supported as resulting from a previously documented anatomical segmental absence of terminal nerve endings in the follicle (Figure 2), (Figure 3). This void or nerve endings could be attributed as consequence of the proximal anatomical attachment point of the arrector pili muscle (APM). The GAP as stated in Suzuki et al. (2012) “Most palisade endings had a gap in a circle of longitudinal lanceolate endings. The gap was 1/8–1/2 of the circle and usually faced to the epidermis, that is, superficial side of the hair root which canted over to the skin surface”. The term “palisade” is used to describe a layer of columnar nervous endings. Since the terminal nerve cells require energy for their functions Ashrafi and Ryan (2017) this energy would in turn be converted into electromagnetic radiation Scherlag et al. (2016). 

 

2.    MATERIALS AND METHODS

This manuscript is quoting and reproducing previously published images supporting the absence of terminal nerves endings in a segment of the hair follicle. This absence, in turn causes an abrupt cessation of electromagnetic radiation as shown in the attached image (Figure 3 plus video), which in turn does not allow for a positive (+) charge to reach the hair shaft.

3.    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Numerous images obtained by this author, show that when the human hair is placed on a slide and covered by liquid Potassium Ferricyanide (K3Fe) there is an accumulation of K3Fe crystals attracted to the outer layers of the shaft. This is due to the attraction of incoming electromagnetic radiation by K3Fe Baranov et al. (2015), Figgis et al. (1969) . As documented in Figure 3 above (please scan QR Code) after removing the hair, a silhouette of the hair proper magnetic fields is displayed. Notice the GAP. The K3Fe positive (+) charge unable to reach one side of the hair shaft. Additionally, functional electromagnetic hair images are presented Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3. Of interest is their difference from artists drawings of pathologist slides with the electromagnetic imprints.

 

4.    MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS

Further research is recommended to elucidate if there are electrical bipolarity changes in hair follicles diseases, such as Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium amongst others. Published research has already documented aging as probable factor in decreasing the hair magnetic imprints as shown in the unpublished image below Figure 4.

Questions Arise: Would follicular diseases be identified by altered hair shaft bipolarities? ....Does the APM has a role in maintaining the follicular integrity and stability? ( Sinclair et al. (2015), Torkamani et al. (2014)).
