Edelman (1992: 109):
Structures able to perform these activities are likely to be found in the frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices of the brain. They must represent a mapping of types of maps. Indeed, they must be able to activate or reconstruct portions of past activities of global mappings of different types — for example, those involving different sensory modalities. They must also be able to recombine or compare them. This means that special reentrant connections from these higher-order cortical areas to other cortical areas and to the hippocampus and basal ganglia must exist to carry out concepts.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, the formation of concepts through the brain mapping of types of maps is the material means by which perceptual meanings, construed of experience, are organised into systems of related perceptual meaning.
