The brain doesn't control the heart. The heart controls itself. If you would take a single heart muscle cell, it will beat on its' own. Add another and they beat together. The heart has special muscle cells called pacemakers. The primary one is called the SA (sinoventricular) node. That sets that pace or rhythm. There is also a slower back up pacemaker called the AV (atrial ventricular) node.
