The parietal lobe is located posterior to the frontal lobe, anterior to the occipital lobe, and superior to the temporal lobe. The central sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe. Inferiorly, the sylvian fissure separates the parietal lobe from the temporal lobe anteriorly. Posteriorly, the distinction between parietal lobe and temporal lobe is less clear. The parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the occipital lobe. The mesial part of the parietal lobe is called the precuneus. The lateral surface is split into the superior parietal lobule and the inferior parietal lobule by the intraparietal sulcus.
