%X Abstract After a brief introduction to the basic terminology of neuroscientific investigations, this article showcases the findings of neuroscientific investigations into each of the traits of the five-factor model of personality (FFM), namely openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. It further presents the findings of research on spirituality and meditation (S&M), and finally focuses on the neurological findings with respect to transformational leadership (TL). The article concludes with juxtaposing neurological research findings with behavioural research findings of FFM, S&M and TL, thereby opening up possibilities of hypothesis articulation for further research
