For more than two decades, New York scientist Richard Axel and colleague Linda B. Buck have shared a singular pursuit: to understand how the brain perceives the world&#39;s myriad of smells - from the scent of roses to the scent of refuse.

After seven months of extensive training, scientists in United Kingdom have managed to make good use of dogs&#39; inordinate interest in human urine by utilising their &quot;super-sensitive noses&quot; to detect signs of bladder cancer, a report said.

The study indicates the human brain compares information it gets from each nostril to get clues about where a smell is coming from. And it suggests dogs, mice and other mammals do the same thing, contrary to what most scientists have thought.
