The review reports Lee's interpretive position, quoting his statement that evidence favors "a high degree of resistance to fatigue" in the brain and spinal cord; it is an author's argument, not a tested result in this source.

"The preponderance of evidence at present seems to me to be in favor of a high degree of resistance to fatigue on the part of the brain and spinal cord, as of the nerve fiber itself."
