Hey Rod:

Somewhat local to you there is the University of Texas at Houston. Their website is intriguing:

Computational Neuroscience Research Group in St. Louie:

I am also pretty sure that there is interesting stuff going on at UCLA and UCI (Irvine) out here on the Left Coast. There is interesting research on genetic roots of obesity (and interaction with the environment) at Columbia University (Dr. Rudolph Liebel), Dr. Irene Pepperberg is working with Alex and some other parrots at MIT on Animal cognition and its practical applications in keeping lonely pet parrots entertained (MIT probably has a lot of stuff going on.) Dr. Robert Stickgold is at Harvard (I think) working on the possible cognitive benefits of sleep (I don't know where Jerome Siegel, who disagrees with Stickgold, is located though.)

Here is a historical timeline from the fabulous "Neuroscience for Kids" website

PS. If you put the terms "Neuroscience research" into Google, you'll get a bunch of websites for very interesting research programs that might fit the bill - and a of course little bit of junk, too.
