Half of our brains is composed of lipids. In this study, Bozek et al. show that lipids are not only structural but also functional elements of the neural tissue that allowed for specialization of brain functions, such as development of human cognition. For more information, see Bozek et al. in Neuron 85(4), http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273(15)00004-5.
