Delay tactics for action in the cortex

How the brain computes with sensory input to execute a delayed motor response remains elusive. In this issue of Neuron, Esmaeili et al. (2021) reveal a key cortical circuit that underlies sensorimotor transformation to execute a delayed motor output following a specific sensory input.
