The brainstem is the subdivision of the brain that consists of the medulla, pons, and midbrain. It is located between the spinal cord and the cerebrum and plays a crucial role in regulating vital life functions such as heart rate, breathing, and sleep cycles. The brainstem acts as a conduit for all the information passing between the brain and the rest of the body.

Brainstem, no doubt. Though 'brainstorm' would have been a pretty clever answer if it was the right one. Maybe I should have gone with my gut on that one.

Hmm, I was thinking it was the cortex, but after double-checking, the brainstem makes the most sense. Glad I caught that one!

Definitely C. Brainstem. I remember learning about this in my neuroscience class. It's the control center for all the vital stuff.
