Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes; the frontal, parietal, temporal, and the occipital. The Frontal Lobe is the most anterior lobe of the brain.Its posterior boundary is the fissure of Rolando, or central sulcus, which separates it from the parietal lobe.Inferiorly, it is divided from the temporal lobe by the fissure of Sylvius which is also called the lateral fissure.he Frontal Lobe is the most anterior lobe of the brain.

Main article: Thoracic diaphragm. The diaphragm is the major muscle responsible for breathing. It is a thin, dome-shaped muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, so that its centre moves caudally (downward) and its edges move rostrally (upward).
With that in mind, a major structure in the upper part of your brain stem is called the pons. The pons has two over-arching roles. The first is the regulation of breathing. In the pons, there is a structure called the pneumotaxic center. This is really just a big word for a center of nerve cells that control the amount of air you breathe and how many times a minute you take a breath, which is known as the breathing rate.
