ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Subparabrachial nucleus

The subparabrachial nucleus is a tiny bundle of cells in the brain that helps us breathe and process pain. It's like a superhero team that helps us when we're hurt or need more air. When we breathe, this team sends signals to our lungs and makes sure we keep inhaling and exhaling properly. And when we get hurt or feel pain, they jump into action and work together to help us feel better. It's a really small part of our brains, but it helps us do some really important things!
