In physiological conditions, the respiration rate grows with the need of oxygen and with the amount of C02 that must be eliminated, things sensed by the apneustic and the pneumotaxic centers in the pons (a part of the brain). If this centers are damaged/altered physically, thermally or chemically they may increase/decrease the respiration in an abnormal way.
