rostral

A positional term – rostral means "towards the beak." In relation to the nervous system, it refers to a direction along the neural axis towards the front, towards the face. In animals (without upright gait), the designation is simpler, as it always means located toward the front. Due to the upright gait of humans, the brain bends in relation to the spinal cord, making rostral at the level of the back become "up."
