Yep, The brain stem is the part of the brain that directly connects with the spinal cord. It contains regions that modulate breathing and heart function, as well as pathways for communication between the brain and the spinal cord. The brain stem also controls your balance, coordination and reflexes.

The brain stem has three main parts: the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. Each of these parts has its own unique structure and function. For example, the midbrain helps with eye movement and visual processing; the pons helps with facial expressions and sleep regulation; and the medulla oblongata helps with swallowing, coughing, vomiting, and sneezing.

The brain stem also sends messages between your brain and other parts of your body through 10 of the 12 cranial nerves (nerves that start in your brain). These nerves control movement and sensation in and around your face. They also help with functions like hearing, smell, taste, salivation, digestion, eye pressure, pupil size, etc. 
 
I named this part the "automatic pilot" because it performs many essential fonctions without any conscious action or effort on the part of the human. Is it enough or do you want me to elaborate on an aformentionned brain structure ?
