The post-mortem analysis of the brains of patients with schizophrenia compared to normal brain shows severe dysregulation in the matrix outside of brain cells that holds them together in key regions of the subconscious brain associated with learning, memory, and the processing of stress. The finding is the first of its kind and it essentially means that the roads and highways that hold brain cells in position are at least as important as the neurotransmitter status that up to this time has received the lion’s share of attention.

However, a number of new studies now show that chondroitin sulfate actually regulates the core inflammatory gene signal known as NF-kappaB. This finding significantly expands on the importance of chondroitin sulfate as a health promoting nutrient.
