Brain lipids are organized into zones — and reorganized during pregnancy
TL;DR - A whole-mouse-brain map reveals that lipids are spatially organized into distinct zones and that this organization changes during pregnancy. This lipid architecture differs from patterns captured by gene-expression and protein atlases.
- Maps the distribution of fats across the entire mouse brain.
- Identifies a spatial organization not evident in transcriptomic or proteomic maps.
- Reports pregnancy-associated reorganization of brain lipid zones.
- The provided excerpt does not specify the mapping methods, lipid classes, or functional consequences.
