Professor Jungshin was officially appointed as the new president at the 16th Annual General Meeting of the Korean Society for Brain and Neural Functional Disorders, held at Konkuk University Hospital in Seoul on November 29, and began a one-year term.

This appointment recognizes President Jungshin's contributions as a neurosurgeon to the academic advancement of brain and neural function. It is expected to further elevate the national standing of Jeonnam National University Hospital, a key medical institution in the Honam region. As a result, President Jungshin will play a pivotal role both as the director of Jeonnam National University Hospital, responsible for the health of the local community as a public medical institution, and as the president of the society, advancing the treatment of neurological functional disorders in Korea.

The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Functional Disorders is a specialized academic organization that has focused on research into the diagnosis and treatment of complex brain nerve diseases such as trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, including microvascular decompression (MVD). President Jungshin plans to further deepen traditional research areas while expanding the society's role to encompass the entire field of neural function. This proactive measure responds to the growing need for research and the introduction of new treatment technologies for various brain function disorders, including Parkinson's disease and tremors.

President Jungshin stated, "The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Functional Disorders has played a central role in the treatment of brain nerve diseases that are directly linked to the quality of life for the public. During my term, I will do my utmost to promote academic exchange and broaden our research scope to cover all aspects of neural function, so that the society can grow into an institution with international research capabilities beyond Korea."
