This is actually located in the brainstem in particular the medulla oblongata. This is the primitive part of the brain which we have no "concious" control over (it is autonomic) and ensures that we breathe above all costs (i.e. you can't forcibly hold your breath and suffocate yourself). This part of the brain however can be influenced by other parts of the brain which we do have control over.
