Study: Dogs can actually 'see' with their nose

It is known that dogs have a very strong sense of smell: they can even determine by smell whether a person is infected with COVID-19. Them

However, the researchers were surprised to see a huge number of olfactory connections in the canine brain. Discuss

Scientists have built 3D maps of the neural pathways of the braindogs and saw the vast white matter that connects the olfactory regions of the brain, revealing a previously unknown information "highway" between the olfactory and visual systems of dogs.

"We've never seen such a connection between the nose andoccipital lobe… in no species,” the scientists explained. This is probably what allows dogs to function very well even without vision. Only with the help of their nose can dogs form spatial perception.
