Brain protein linked to concussion recovery time

Article from UPI highlighting research recently published in Neurology Journal which shows elevated levels of plasma tau concentration within 6 hours following a concussion was related to having a prolonged return to play.

The suggestion is that by developing lab tests to monitor tau levels we may be able to use the results to inform athletes and coaches about when it's appropriate to return to action.
