where do we find betz cells?
hey i found the answer so i thought i would post it as well

Betz cells are pyramidal cell neurons located within the fifth layer of the grey matter in the primary motor cortex. These neurons are some of the largest in the central nervous system, sometimes reaching 100μm in diameter[1]. Betz cells send their axons down to the spinal cord where in humans they synapse directly with anterior horn cells, which in turn synapse directly with their target muscles.
