A blood test for concussion?

Concussion, pervasive in most sports, epidemic in contact contests, affects millions of individuals ranging from youth sports through professional athletes.1 Those who routinely see patients with sports concussion rely predominately on patient-reported symptoms and a thorough neurologic examination to ascertain the extent of injury and prognosis. Although neuropsychological assessments are helpful, no other routine testing, including conventional neuroimaging, is useful in answering many basic questions regarding the clinical evaluation and management of concussion, let alone determining the severity of CNS damage.2
