Article Synopsis
- Animal locomotion relies on coordination between the nervous system, sensory inputs, and muscle movements, making it an important area for understanding nervous system health and dysfunction.
- Tardigrades, the smallest known walking animals, serve as a model for studying limb-driven locomotion due to their simple nervous system and distinct movement patterns of their eight legs.
- Researchers developed open-source tracking tools to analyze over 13,000 strides from >100 tardigrades, revealing insights into walking speed, coordination, and how these factors relate to their aging, species differences, and responses to certain treatments like disulfiram.
