Default A blood test for TBI/concussion
Recently it has been shown that two brain proteins (GFAP and UCH-L1) are released into the blood after brain injury.

This looks like a promising new approach.

There is a general account of this here https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0328114638.htm and the Abstract of the paper is here http://archneur.jamanetwork.com/arti...icleid=2506517.
