Nov 17, 2025
Kang Dong Kyung Hee University Hospital (Director Lee Woo-in) Professor Shin Won-chul of Neurology won the 'JCN Paper Award" at the conference of the Korean Society of Neurology held on the 8th. The 'JCN thesis award' is an authoritative award that selects and awards the most cited papers in SCI and SCIE journals in the last two years among the papers published in the SCIE Journal of Clinical Neurology (JCN).
The award-winning paper is 'Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid From Unpolished Rice Germs as a Health Functional Food for Promoting Sleep', which evaluates the sleep improvement effect and safety of low-dose natural GABA (gammaaminobutyric acid). The research team confirmed that 75mg of naturally derived GABA extracted from rice bran shows significant changes such as a decrease in sleep time (sleep incubation period), an increase in deep sleep (N3), and a decrease in arousal index in insomnia patients, and proved that it is a safe sleep aid material that can be used without side effects.
Professor Shin Won-chul "The study was conducted to suggest safer and more effective alternatives for patients suffering from sleep disorders."We will continue to study sleep medicine based on scientific evidence."."
Meanwhile, Professor Shin Won-chul graduated from Kyung Hee University School of Medicine and obtained a master's and doctorate in medicine from the graduate school, and served as a clinical lecturer in neurology at Samsung Medical Center and a visiting researcher at San Diego State University in the United States. Currently, the Department of Neurology at Gangdong Kyunghee University Hospital is conducting medical treatment and research focusing on sleep disorders, epilepsy, and spasmodic diseases, and continues active academic activities at various academic societies, including the president of the Korean Society of Sleep Research, the academic member of the Korean Society of Neurology, the research director of the Korean Society of Epilepsy, and the chairman of the social committee of the Korean Society of Epilepsy. Based on abundant clinical experience and research results, it is contributing to the development of sleep medicine and neuroscience fields.
