The pneumotaxic center is aka pontine respiratory group (PRG). Its function is to inhibit inspiration, regulating inspiratory volume and rate. It can be considered an antagonist to the apneustic center which produces abnormal, deep, prolonged inspiratory gasps. Both of these structures are found in the pons of the midbrain.

What is the function of the pneumotaxic center of the pons?
The pneumotaxic center of the pons helps regulate the pattern and rate of breathing by controlling the duration of inspiration and expiration. It works in coordination with the respiratory center in the medulla to ensure proper breathing rhythm.
Where is the pneumotaxic center and the apneustic center located?

What happens if the neural connections between the pneumotaxic center and apneustic center are severed?

What region of the brain controls the breathing rate?
the nucleus tractus solitarus (basic control) of the medulla along with the pneumotaxic center of the pons (fine control)
Breathing is controlled by what part of the brain?
There are four main centers in the brain to regulate the respiration: 1. Inspiratory center 2. Expiratory center 3. Pneumotaxic center 4. Apneustic center The first two centers are present on the medulla oblongata whereas the last two centers on the pons region of brain.
