TL;DR
During development, the growth rates of internodal length and fibre diameter differ and the precise relationship between these two variables in a nerve is therefore complex and alters during development.

The aim of this investigation is to set up a standard for the histologic structure of the peripheral nerves for all decades, so that one may know by comparison what can be considered as abnormal or pathologic.

93 Citations1928Gerald H. J. Pearson
The results of this study—diminution or loss of the sensation in the lower extremities of a large percentage of persons in the involutional period of life—are deemed worthy of record because it is during this period that changes in vibratory sensibility assume considerable importance for diagnosis.

The results place increased emphasis on the great versatility of even the adult cell, within the limited potentialities of its strain, in response to the composition and microstructural organization of its environment.

A quantitative study of the growth of the myelin sheath of fibres of the lateral line nerve in Salmo trutta and Raia clavata has been made and the changes in the relationship between internodal length and diameter during growth have been analyzed.
