For navigating the entire brain, instead of using compass directions like east or northwest, scientists uses phrases like “dorsal anterior” (upper front) or “medial” (inner wall).
Lobes: Frontal (front), parietal (mid-back), temporal (lower mid), occipital (lower back)
Relative directions: Dorsal (up), anterior (front), ventral (lower), posterior (back)
Lateral (away from the midline or outside), medial (toward the midline or middle)
