  1. Motor systems in animals are highly dependent on sensory information for optimal control and precision, with mechanosensory feedback from the somatosensory system playing a critical role. These mechanosensory pathways are woven into the descending feedforward pathways and local central pattern generator circuits that control and generate movement, respectively. Somatosensory feedback in mammals and insects, the two animal classes this review touches upon, is complex due to the increased demands that limbed locomotion, weight-bearing, and corrective movements place on sensorimotor control. In this review, we outline the salient features of the proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensory feedback pathways animals rely on for controlling movement and highlight some of the key principles of sensory feedback that are shared across the animal kingdom.
