Outline of Final Research Achievements	Brains from patient with schizophrenia were investigated about lipid metabolism. In the protein simultaneous analysis, important proteins, such as enzymes which are related to lipid metabolism, were studied. Furthermore the key lipid molecule was analyzed by using the imaging mass spectrometry based on the result of accurate analysis.
