Scanning along human acoustovestibular nerves from cross-sections closely proximal to the brain to locations distinctly peripheral thereto, by means of small-angle X-ray diffraction, has disclosed transitional junctions a t which the myelin structure typical of central nervous system (CNS) axons giv
