Methods, compositions and kits useful in the detection, assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of brain injuries, especially mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion, are based upon detection of changes in levels of certain protein biomarkers in a subject undergoing testing, or upon detection of changes in levels of certain protein biomarkers in conjunction with neuroimaging analyses to detect changes in vascular or blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the brain, or to detect damage to fiber tracts in the brain, in which changes in biomarker levels correlate with detection of changes in BBB permeability or in brain fiber tract or white matter damage in a subject with brain injury such as mTBI or concussion.

Biomarker levels and neuroimaging for detecting, monitoring and treating brain injury or trauma

Methods, compositions and kits useful in the diagnosis, prognosis and/or assessment of brain injuries and risk for brain injuries, such as hemorrhage, are based upon detection of certain biomarkers.

Circulating biomarker levels for diagnosis and risk-stratification of traumatic brain injury

Methods, compositions and kits useful in the detection, assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of neurological injury or disease or brain injury, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), are provided in which certain newly discovered protein biomarkers are detected in a biological sample of a subject undergoing testing or evaluation. The methods allow for detection of changes in levels, amounts, or concentrations of the protein biomarkers in a subject compared with those of controls. Detection of the protein biomarkers, and/or levels thereof, provides an indication of biological and biochemical events, e.g., at a cellular level, that are occurring in the subject who is undergoing testing or analysis for the neurological injury or brain injury.
