Korn was born on 15 November 1934. In 1992 he won the
Richard Lounsbery Award jointly with
Philippe Ascher for "their discoveries of the mechanisms of synaptic transmission. Philippe Asher (
sic) furthered knowledge regarding the properties of glutamate receptors which play an important role in trials, and Henri Korn brought to light the elementary liberation of neurotransmitter in quanta form in the central nervous system of vertebrates." In 2007, a re-analysis of Korn's data by
Jacques Ninio in the
Journal of Neurophysiology showed serious anomalies that suggested the results of his research were fabricated. ==References==
