So cholesterol plays a huge role! The brain is the fattiest organ, so it makes a lot of sense. That we haven't found a correlation between statins and depression is certainly a quandary though.
I wonder if our national obsession with anti-fat dietary advice has had an impact on depression's prevalence in our population. It would seem to make sense that if we depress people with low-fat frankenfoods they naturally react with lower physical activity levels.
I wonder if omega-3 / omega-6 dietary balance changes the structure of the cell membranes to make them less permeable. Greater omega-3 cell membrane composition certainly seems to have a real impact on retina cells and the overall function of the retina[1].
