Temporoparietal
Temporoparietal (pronunciation: tem-poro-par-i-e-tal) is a term used in anatomy to refer to the region of the brain where the temporal and parietal lobes meet.
Etymology
The term is derived from the Latin words "tempus" meaning time, and "paries" meaning wall. This is in reference to the location of these lobes in the brain, with the temporal lobe being near the temples and the parietal lobe forming the central side wall of the brain.
Definition
