Lipids stimulated and favored the evolution of the brain. Adult human brain contains a large
amount of lipids, and the largest diversity of lipid classes and lipid molecular species.
Lipidomics is defined as “the full characterization of lipid molecular species and of their
biological roles with respect to expression of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and
function, including gene regulation.” Therefore, the study of brain lipidomics can help to
unravel the diversity and to disclose the specificity of these lipid traits and its alterations in …
