Nancy:
Great
idea! Neuroscience research isn't my area of expertise. Can you or
anyone else make some suggestions about where some cutting edge neuroscience
research is taking place?

I would include a couple of major universities at which there is some neuroscience research occurring - related to brain function/dysfunction (such as dementia), the scientific study of sleep etc. Someplace where they could see the equipment used in such research (EEG, PET, fMRI etc) and hear researchers talk about the process of investigating the brain.
Also research related to other interesting topics - animal cognition, language (in humans or animals), memory, and eating/hunger/obesity come to mind.
I think where you go depends on your students' interest and you could probably try to make some contacts at universities/institutions after getting a sense of what they'd find most interesting.
Since psychology is so very happening at this time BECAUSE of the innovations in investigative technology, I wouldn't leave this stuff out.
