'''Orientation''' is a [[function]] of the [[mind]] involving awareness of three [[dimensions]]: [[time]], [[space|place]] and [[person]].[1] Problems with orientation lead to disorientation, and can be due to various conditions, from delirium to intoxication. Typically, disorientation is first in [[time]], then in place and finally in [[person]].

The exact [[brain|cerebral]] region involved in orientation is uncertain, but lesions of the brain stem and the cerebral hemispheres have been reported to cause disorientation, suggesting that they [[act]] together in maintaining [[awareness]] and its sub[[function]] of orientation.
