  Over the last few decades, a lot of progress has been made in understanding
different aspects of the brain's ability to form abstract representations, but
a specific mechanism for how they are created and used remains to emerge. Here,
we review recent findings on the subject and we propose a mechanism for the
dynamics of forming abstract representations, where the formation of local
connectivity in neural networks determines the of search terms between the
prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, as well as the amount of detail that is
transcribed into abstract representations.
