Manoj Raghavan

Dr. Manoj Raghavan is a Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, affiliated with the Neuroscience Research Institute. He serves as Director of the Adult Comprehensive Epilepsy Program and Medical Director of the MEG Program. His clinical expertise includes epilepsy evaluation, surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy, and clinical neurophysiology.

Education:

• MD: Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (1989)
• PhD in Neuroscience: Syracuse University (1995)
• Residency in Neurology: NYU School of Medicine (1996–1999)
• Fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology: NYU School of Medicine (2000–2001)

Research Focus: Dr. Raghavan’s work centers on quantitative EEG/MEG analysis, brain rhythm mechanisms, functional brain imaging, and seizure dynamics. Key interests include cortical excitability, brain mapping for surgical planning, and language lateralization in temporal lobe epilepsy. His interdisciplinary approach combines electrophysiology with advanced neuroimaging to improve epilepsy diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes machine learning integration for seizure prediction, pre-surgical fMRI biomarkers for memory preservation, and neurostimulation for refractory epilepsy. Studies often feature multi-institutional collaborations and translational applications.

Leadership & Grants: Leadership roles include directing epilepsy and MEG programs. Research has been supported by NIH grants and institutional funding, focusing on neuroimaging, connectivity analysis, and clinical trial advancements.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Neuroscience Research Institute and the Epilepsy Connectome Project, collaborating on functional brain network analysis and surgical neurology innovations.
