White matter is composed largely of myelinated axons, which are rich in lipids. Gray matter, on the other hand, contains more cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses, which are not as lipid-rich. The meninges (arachnoid mater, dura mater, and pia mater) are connective tissue membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord and do contain some lipids, but not as much as white matter.
