The pons is the region in the brain most closely associated with breathing and with circuits that generate respiratory rhythms.
The pons is the region in the brain most closely associated with breathing and with circuits that generate respiratory rhythms. It forms a bridge between the cerebrum and cerebellum and is involved in motor control, posture, and balance. It is also involved in sensory analysis and is the site at which auditory information enters the brain.
