Research found two proteins rapidly appear in the blood following a blow or jolt to the head when a serious traumatic brain injury occurs. Now there is a blood test that can identify whether the proteins are in the blood or not. With the blood test as a diagnostic tool, medical professionals can rule out more serious brain injuries while evaluating someone with a suspected concussion. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland)
