Neural representation

Neural representation refers to how our brain encodes and organizes information. When we learn something new, our brain forms patterns of connections between neurons, which represent that knowledge. These connections allow us to recall and use the information later. For example, when you think of a dog, specific neurons activate in a way that conjures up your understanding of what a dog is. This process is essential for memory, learning, and reasoning, enabling us to interpret the world and make decisions based on our accumulated knowledge.
