The medulla oblongata. I'll give you a source because I wanted to double check myself. [And I shouldn't have, I would have had the first correct answer.] "The medulla oblongata is the lower portion of the brainstem. It deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing and blood pressure. The cardiac center is the part of the medulla oblongata responsible for controlling the heart rate."
The part of the brain that controls breathing in the Medulla Oblongata which is located in the Hind Brain ( right on top of the spinal cord). Other functions of the Medulla Oblongata are -Regulates heart rate and diameter of blodd vessels -Acts as a passage /road between nerve tracts in the spinal cord and the upper brain. Without the Medulla Oblongata we would die.
cerebral cortex
I think you are talking about the nucleus, which is the "brain" of the cell. It controls everything that cell does.
The largest and most important part of the brain is the cerebrum.it controls many things like memory,speech,intelligents. However, the most important part in terms of survival has to be the Hypothalamus. It is the part of the brain which controls primal functions such as hunger/thirst, regulation of body tempurature, heartbeat, etc.

Brain cells
Breathing is controlled by the brainstem, which is located at the base of the brain and is responsible for regulating involuntary functions such as breathing. There is no specific side of the brain that exclusively controls breathing.
Brain stem.
The brain stem controls these functions
The Medulla Oblongata
It is the medulla oblongata that controls swallowing. It also controls functions such as breathing and blood pressure. It is the lower portion of the brainstem.
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.
The part of the brain that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem. It regulates these vital functions through the autonomic nervous system without conscious effort.
The Brain, specifically the brain stem and the central nervous system that controls any "unconscious" activities like breathing and pulse rate.
