Figure 1. A schematic of different types of Nfs and their detection in CNS related disorders.

Figure 1.

Nfs act as neurotransmitter. These neurotransmitters are categorized based on their molecular weight. Different types of Nfs could be released in the CSF, serum and plasma. When occurred an injury an increased levels of Nfs will release in various body fluids including CSF, serum and plasma which could be detected by various techniques such as ELISA. NfL: NF light; NfM: NF medium; NfH: NF heavy; ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
