Alan D. Legatt

Alan D. Legatt, MD, PhD, is a Professor in the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and holds Assistant Professor roles in the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Medicine (Critical Care). He is affiliated with Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY. His expertise spans clinical neurophysiology and neurology, with a focus on intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring, epilepsy studies, and evoked potential analysis.

Dr. Legatt completed his medical education at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowship training at the Neurological Institute of New York. His research delves into EEG monitoring data analysis, evoked potential subcomponent structures, and neuromonitoring techniques during surgery. He has contributed extensively to guidelines for motor evoked potential monitoring and intraoperative spinal monitoring.

His publications emphasize neurophysiological advancements, including studies on brainstem auditory evoked potentials, motor evoked potentials, and clinical applications of electrophysiology. While no specific awards are listed, his work is recognized through contributions to major clinical neurophysiology textbooks and peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Legatt’s clinical practice integrates advanced neurophysiological tools for diagnosing and managing neurological conditions, particularly epilepsy and surgical neurophysiological monitoring. His academic roles include teaching and guiding clinical practices at Einstein College of Medicine.
