Abstract Animal locomotion requires precise coordination between the central and peripheral nervous systems, between sensory inputs and motor outputs, and between nerves and muscles. Therefore, analysis of locomotion provides a broad and sensitive readout of nervous system function and dysfunction. Tardigrades, the smallest known walking animals, coordinate movement of their eight legs with a relatively simple nervous system.
