GlossaryOccipital Area (Posterior Scalp)

lower back part of the skull

The occipital area, also known as the occipital region or the back of the head, refers to the lower posterior part of the skull. This region houses the occipital bone and is crucial for protecting the occipital lobe of the brain, which is responsible for visual processing. In the context of hair and alopecia, the occipital area is often examined for hair density and growth patterns, as it is typically less affected by androgenetic alopecia compared to other regions of the scalp.
