What is a control center?

Respiratory control centers are located in the medulla and the pons. In the medulla the ventral respiratory group contains rhythm generators whose output drives respiration. Also in the medulla, the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group integrate peripheral sensory input and modify the rhythms generated by the VRG. The pons respiratory centers interact with the medulla centers to smooth the breathing pattern.

The respiratory center (RC), itself, is located in the medulla oblongata, the lowermost portion of the brainstem.
