Core Tip	Mass spectrometry offers a degree of simplicity and sophistication to the biological sciences. In this review we are focusing on its application towards the analysis of lipids in neuroscience. Lipids have a variety of functions, they surround neurons, provide insulation for transmission of signals, an environment for facilitating motility and migration of astrocytes and other cell types, among many other functions. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have enabled quantification of lipids directly extracted from complex biological mixtures in the neuronal system with the help of databases, standardized instrument parameters and bioinformatics. In this review, we intend to highlight all recent efforts with an emphasis on its application to neuroscience.
