The same rules apply. Your chance of getting into a top level program goes up if you have prior research experience in a top lab and have been productive (conference participation and publications). Unfortunately, the top R1 neuro programs in the US are in exceedingly competitive schools but I would still look at the programs at schools I have listed.
Hopkins in particular is a great choice. A good way to find labs and schools that are active in your area/s of interest is to use the NIH Reporter tool: https://reporter.nih.gov/
No funding = less active research opportunities.
Another good source is grantome: https://grantome.com/
Good luck!
