Are the pores of intramembrane particles of postsynaptic membrane transmitter-dependent channels?

The rat neonatal cerebellar cortex has been studied using the freeze fracture technique. In the dendritic postsynaptic membrane, intramembrane particles containing an electron-dense central area have been detected. This type of area could be a platinum aggregate within a channel which, crossing the particle, may connect the postsynaptic cytoplasm with the synaptic cleft.
