The continuum of care provided by the University of Mississippi Medical Center includes specialized neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological assessments, cognitive training, and treatment for patients suffering from developmental and acquired conditions, including memory disorders, traumatic brain injury, and sensory and motor impairment.
