1. A method of measuring the levels of biomarker proteins in a biological sample from a human patient that has or is suspected of having a brain injury, the method comprising:
(a) measuring levels of biomarker proteins Neurogranin (NRGN) and Synuclein Beta (SNCB) in the biological sample;
(b) detecting a changed level of NRGN, and a changed level of SNCB relative to reference levels; and
(c) administering treatment for a brain injury when an increased level of NRGN and a decreased level of the SNCB is detected.
