Center for Translational Neuroimaging
"Scientists have made great advances in understanding how the brain works at the cellular level. But translating this knowledge to understanding human behavior and treating brain diseases such as drug addiction, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder, and neurodegenerative disorders has lagged behind. Brookhaven’s Center for Translational Neuroimaging aims to bridge this gap using a network of complementary brain-imaging tools including positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)."
Entrez, The Life Sciences Search Engine Search
Don't just search PubMed, search across every database available from the NCBI at the same time.

Neuroscience WWW Virtual Library
Links to resources on a variety of neuroscience related topics
Scholarpedia
Scholarpedia is an open access source for articles in the fields of computational neuroscience, dynamical systems, computational intelligence, physics and astrophysics.
"Scholarpedia feels and looks like Wikipedia -- the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Indeed, both are powered by the same program -- MediaWiki. Both allow visitors to review and modify articles simply by clicking on the edit this article link.
However, Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:
Each article is written by an expert (elected by the public or invited by Scholarpedia editors).
Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
Each article has a curator -- typically its author -- who is responsible for its content."
Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version.
SciTopics.com
SciTopics has humdreds of introductory articles about a wide variety of subjects written by experts in each discipline. Unlike Wikipedia and some other sources, all of the articles on SciTopics have gone through a process of peer review and provide a scholarly introduction to a subject as well as give a variety of resources for further research.
SCOPUS
Scopus indexes over 14,000 peer-reviewed journals in the scientific, technical, medical, and social science literature (from over 4,000 international publishers). Abstracts go back to 1966. References go back to 1996. 100% coverage of Medline. A unique feature of this databaae is the "Cited By" feature, which offers the ability to determine (and track) the number of times a particular article/author has been cited and by whom.
Links to full-text when subscribed to by the Library; otherwise, offers citation information for Interlibrary Loan purposes.
Wormatlas
"A database of behavioral and structural anatomy of Caenorhabditis elegans" Also includes links, a glossary and more.
