This part of the brain is probably the thing that gave God the desire to breathe His Spirit into the man, Adam, in the beginning.

Genesis 2:7 (NIV 1984):
... the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

In the book of Job we see something that is quite humbling regarding this. Elihu says about God in Job 34:14,15 (NIV 1984):
14 If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, 15 all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust.

How great are the patience, compassion, love and mercy of God!
