Hans-Dieter Lux
Hans Dieter Lux (born February 15, 1924 in Bad Salzuflen ; † September 5, 1994 ) was a German neurophysiologist and experimental epileptologist .
Life
Lux studied medicine and physics in Göttingen from 1947 to 1954. After his medical assistantship and license to practice medicine, he was an assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Göttingen from 1956 to 1960 and at the Physiological Institute of the University of Göttingen from 1960 to 1962 . From 1962 to 1964 he did research at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Munich, and from 1964 to 1966 a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. After renewed research at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Munich from 1967, Lux completed his habilitation in 1971.
As early as 1972 he was appointed adjunct professor and took over the management of the Department of Neurophysiology at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Munich. Previously, in 1971, he held a professorship for neurophysiology at the University of California, Irvine , California, USA, and later (1979–1987) various visiting professorships in the USA.
plant
Lux developed a. a. the technology of ion-selective microelectrodes to research the connection between changes in ion concentrations in the extracellular space of the brain and epileptogenesis and (together with his student and later Nobel Prize winner Erwin Neher ) the patch-clamp technique .
He was (co-) author of numerous articles in journals and books as well as (co-) editor of two books.
