In the human brain, which lobe gives you sense of direction?
simple question, difficult answer....
Part of the Limbic system, which is the layer of the brain directly underneath the Cerebrum (the "Main Brain"), the Hippocampus (or Hippocampi, as you actually have two of them) is primarily associated with spatial awareness, spatial memory, and navigation.
Although the Limbic system was developed roughly 50–60 years ago, it is currently making a comeback because it is no longer universally accepted as a single "system" in the medical and neurological communities.
The Temporal Lobes of the Cerebrum (Left and Right) are directly beneath the Hippocampi.
Having said that, the Hippocampi require information about the environment, which is provided by other brain regions. In humans, visual information is particularly important and is provided by the Visual Cortex, which is housed in the Occipital Lobe and receives information from the eyes. The Parietal Lobe processes touch and movement of the body.
It should be noted that all of this sensory data will travel through the Thalamus, which is another region of the former Limbic System.
Finally, the appreciation and decision-making processes will involve the frontal lobe(s).
As you can see, it's not an easy answer, and I may have overlooked a few details along the way.
However, since the Hippocampi are located in the Temporal lobe, choose that lobe if your desired answer only requires one lobe.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
