Why would the brain need to compensate for up-down or right-left? There is no
homunculus watching a screen or something! And even if it were it could be
standing on it's head. If everything is cross-linked one could interpret the
whole brain being inverted and upside down so the brain wouldn't have to be
'aware' of this.
