Horrobin proposed a neuronal membrane phospholipid model of neuropsychiatric disorders in the late 1970’s. Since then, increasing evidence from biochemical studies, nutritional studies, neurochemistry, molecular genetics, structural neuroimaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been accumulating that supports the Horrobin model, in disorders as diverse as schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Huntingdon’s disease.
