Paolo Peretto

Paolo Peretto is a Professor at the University of Turin affiliated with the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology (SSD: BIO/06 - Comparative Anatomy and Cytology). His research focuses on adult neurogenesis, olfactory system development, and neural plasticity with implications for reproductive behavior and brain repair.

Key research topics include Wnt-βcatenin pathway roles in olfactory connectivity, social odor processing via GnRH neurons, and experience-dependent neuronal plasticity in olfactory bulb interneurons. His work spans 2004-2024 with significant contributions to understanding neuronal precursor dynamics in cerebellar and striatal regions.

Major publications appear in Nature Neuroscience, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and European Journal of Neuroscience. Collaborations include researchers like Silvia De Marchis, Roberta Schellino, and Piergiorgio Giacobini. Teaching involves Comparative Anatomy, Neuroethics, and Evolutionary Behavioral Biology at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
