Did you mean Parietal Area?

GlossaryParietal Area

upper side section of the scalp between frontal and occipital areas

The parietal area, also known as the parietal region, refers to the upper side section of the scalp, located between the frontal and occipital areas. In the context of hair and alopecia, this region is significant because it is often assessed for hair density and health, and can be a common site for hair thinning or loss.
