Betza cells
Betach cells or giant pyramidal cells - a type of pyramidal neurons located in the V layer of the gray primary motile cortex (M1). They were described in 1874 by the Ukrainian anatomy and histology of Vladimir Betz. They are one of the largest central nervous system cells, their pericarbors are even 100 μm in diameter. Betza cells send axons into the spinal cord, where they form synapses with the frontal horn cells, thus forming the first pyramidal neuron pathway (the name of the pyramidal cells, however, took the shape of the pyramids before the exact path of the pyramids was known). Betza cells have one apricot dendrite, like other pyramidal cells, and there are numerous asymmetric dendrites branched in different cells, most of which occur in the V and VI layers of bark, and deeper into the white matter of the brain. According to one study, Betza cells accounted for up to 10% of the population of all pyramidal cells of the Vb layer of the original cortex.
