| Keeping you nose to the ground
From BBC Ceefax
"The sensitivity of the human sense of smell has been significantly underestimated a study suggests.
US research had confounded the established belief that people have a poorer sense of smell than animals.
The work published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, asked people to follow scents on the ground, as a dog would do and found that they were as good.
A UK expert said the findings were "intriguing" and would aid better understanding of the sense." |
