New Study Suggests Nostrils Smell Independently

And a new study has found that our nostrils each have their own sense of smell working independently in some ways. The study was published in current biology and found the brain might be capable of processing each nostrils input individually and synthesizing them into one smell. The study even found that when each nostril was presented with the same smell, the brain activity was similar but not identical, suggesting independence between the two nostrils.
