Detailed explanation-2: -In the brain, the parietal lobe is located behind the frontal lobe. A boundary called the central sulcus separates the two lobes. The parietal lobe also sits above the temporal lobe, with the Sylvian fissure, or lateral sulcus, separating the two. The occipital lobe is behind and slightly underneath the parietal lobe.
