Biography

Tara Perrot is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University. Her research focuses on stress resilience and the early life programming of stress responses, exploring the gut-brain axis's role in stress response and the developmental origins of health and disease. Perrot has studied stress responses for years from various perspectives, including behavioral, hormonal, and neural studies using both non-human animal models and human subjects. She is particularly interested in how factors such as early life experiences, prenatal stress, and enriched postnatal environments influence the development and maintenance of stress responses throughout adulthood. Currently, she is investigating how the interaction between the gut and brain contributes to maintaining a healthy stress response.
