  The discovery of neutrino oscillations provides a solid evidence for nonzero
neutrino masses and leptonic mixing. The fact that neutrino masses are so tiny
constitutes a puzzling problem in particle physics. From the theoretical
viewpoint, the smallness of neutrino masses can be elegantly explained through
the seesaw mechanism. Another challenging issue for particle physics and
cosmology is the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in
Nature. Among the viable mechanisms, leptogenesis is a simple and
well-motivated framework. In this talk we briefly review these aspects, making
emphasis on the possibility of linking neutrino physics to the cosmological
baryon asymmetry originated from leptogenesis.
