Abstract Pure lipids from 5 regions of brains from 6 whales have been separated into various fractions as cerebrosides, sphingomyelines, lecithines, ethanolamine cephalines, cholesterol and free fatty acids. The white matter contains mostly cholesterol and cerebrosides, the grey matter glycerophosphatides. The fatty acid composition of the cerebrosides from all regions is about the same. The fatty acids from sphingomyelines, lecithines, ethanolamine cephalines show significant differences in relation to their origin.
