I recommend this app to my students - you can rotate the brain, highlight certain sections, search for a part of the brain.  From a basic overview to a nice detailed explanation with case studies, associated functions, associated cognitive disorders, issues with damage to that area, research reviews, and links, it provides a quick, fun, and easy way to look at different parts of the brain in 3D.
