- Lipid metabolism in the brain is crucial for both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.
- The review focuses on cellular processes like lipid uptake, synthesis, storage, breakdown, and intercellular transfer.
- Different brain cell types, including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons, play roles in lipid metabolism.
- Disruptions in lipid metabolism can lead to brain diseases, highlighting the importance of neuron-glia lipid exchange.
- Lipid droplets are emerging as key components in brain health and disease.
