Abstract
  With the innovation of measuring techniques, research into several biomarker has been ongoing in neurocritical care. In addition to the usual biomarkers such as neuron specific enolase, S100β and glutamate, several new biomarkers along with their pathomechanisms have been studied in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. These biomarkers are neurofilament families derived from neural cytoskeleton, tau protein derived from dendritic microtubules, microtubule-associated protein 2 derived from dendritic cell body, myelin basic protein from oligodendrocyte and myelin, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 derived from neural cells and glial fibrillary acidic protein from glial cells.
  In this article, we will review the basic and clinical data of these biomarkers. Then, we will discuss the efficacy of these biomarkers for the “visualization” of TBI pathophysiology.
