Keeping pace with a constantly changing world requires the ability to make predictions about the future on a variety of timescales. A very basic example of this is the ability to predict the future location of a moving object in the brief time that it takes to perceive and respond to that object. In this issue of Neuron, experiments by Sundberg, Fallah, and Reynolds reveal a potential neural substrate for making short-range predictions about motion in visual area V4.
