Hi,
They do a lot of good work/research at Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore, MD. I don't know if that's too far away for you?
If not, I can get more information....my cousin's pdoc has privileges there...

Here's their website and a small excerpt from their site:
Sheppard Pratt is the site of one of several research centers established by the Stanley Medical Research Institute of Bethesda, Maryland. The mission of the Institute, a not-for-profit medical foundation, is to support research on the causes and treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Heading the Stanley Research Center at Sheppard Pratt is Faith Dickerson, Ph.D. Dr. Dickerson and her colleagues have just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry a study of 229 schizophrenia patients which shows that serum antibodies to a Herpes Simplex Virus (Type 1) are associated with relative cognitive impairments.
