Matt Kelly explains that your brain is fundamentally a fatty organ. Neuronal membranes are packed with phospholipids and other lipids, and within these membranes, cells communicate via neurotransmitters to generate the electrical impulses behind thoughts and emotions.
The brain is really very unique in the way that its biology works and the way that it takes care of itself because it is a primarily fatty organ. And so you think, well, fat, like, you know, not like body fat, but neurological cells are full of phospholipids and other lipids that make up the membranes of the brain cells. And then all of the membranes of the nerve tracts and the peripheral nerves. So there's just a lot of fat in there due to the phospholipid content. Yeah. Within those phospholipids, then you have the sending and receiving type cells that usually operate by sending and receiving neurotransmitters. And then those create electrical impulses that create thoughts, feelings, all sorts of things in your brain.
