Laboratory assessment of mild traumatic brain injury by use of neurotoxicity biomarkers
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and concussion from sporting/recreational activities are relatively common. However, assessment of mTBI is difficult and many incidents of mTBI and concussion are unrecognized and/or not reported. Levels of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) peptide, a product of the proteolytic degradation of AMPA receptors, have been found to be raised in […]
