Medulla onblogata or alternatively, Medúlla for short, is a part of the brain, found in the brain stem. It controls basic functions such as breathing and heart control. It is most known in modern culture as the name of the 2004 all A Capella album by Icelandic singer Björk. The name was chosen as the album meant to go back to ancient music, and it be about what ‘makes us human’. This was in response to the racism in the aftermath of the twin towers disasters in 2001.
