  • 1992 - Richard Lounsbery Award, National Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences for their discoveries of the mechanisms of synaptic transmission. Philippe Asher 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."
  • 1989 - Member of Academia Europaea

Overview

Henri Korn is affiliated with the Institut Pasteur in France. Their research contributions have been recognized within the scientific community, particularly in the field of synaptic transmission.

Henri Korn was awarded the Richard Lounsbery Award by the National Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences in 1992. The award citation highlights their work in bringing to light the elementary liberation of neurotransmitters in quanta form in the central nervous system of vertebrates. The prize also acknowledged the collaborative context with Philippe Asher, who made advances in understanding glutamate receptors.

In addition, Korn has been a member of Academia Europaea since 1989, an association that recognizes scholars with distinguished contributions to science and scholarship across Europe.
