Abstract

The article is dedicated to the founder of the evolutionary biochemistry of brain lipids, Evgeniy Mikhailovich Kreps, a remarkable scientist and person, academician, who for many years headed the Department of Physiology of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The authors consider some stages of the scientific biography of E.M. Kreps, analyze the main results of his many years of work on studying the composition of complex brain lipids in representatives of all classes of vertebrates and some invertebrates. The authors made an attempt to give a modern assessment and interpretation of the patterns of changes in the composition of phospholipids, cerebrosides, gangliosides and their fatty acid radicals discovered by E.M. Kreps, associated with the complication of the organization of the central nervous system during evolution.
