In this issue of Neuron, McGinty et al. (2013) report that the activity of
cue-responsive neurons in the rat nucleus accumbens predicts the vigor of the
subsequent approach movement. The characterization of this network state between
motivation and action lends novel mechanistic insight to a spectrum of
cue-elicited behaviors.
