Your
dog is really a nose above you - and all other living creatures for
that matter – when it comes to sense of smell, and researchers have
discovered the secret as to why.
A
dog has many more nerve cells in its far superior nasal cavity,
giving it a heightened sense of smell and an amazing ability to sniff
out anything from drugs to cancer, New Scientist magazine reports.
Pennsylvania
State University researchers found that a complex network of
mucus-covered tubes in a dog's nose pre-sorts smells, making it
easier for the brain to identify them. The researchers found that
different smell molecules are first picked up by receptors at
different locations in a dog's airway network. Until now, research
has focused on how receptors pick up different chemicals.

"We've
shown that the sorting out of the different odorants before they even
get to the receptors is also important," said Brent Craven, head
of the research team.
