Of course, there are many programs available that display MRI scans and
teach about localization of activity. You may try the WWW pages to find
them as a starting point try: http://www.hanover.edu/psych/Krantz/other.html
Use this as a starting point to find what you are looking for.

Also a good new book to look at is "DESCARTES ERROR" by Antonio Damasio.
