parietal
Brain's upper wall
Parietal means relating to walls or wall-like structures.
In anatomy, the parietal bones form the sides and roof of the skull; the parietal lobe is a region of the brain beneath them.
In biology, parietal describes structures attached to or forming part of a body wall.
In American higher education, parietal rules historically governed dormitory visitation—particularly opposite-sex guests—treating dorm walls as boundaries requiring regulation.
