During the synaptic state in Stokes's working memory concept, the brain is in the process of reactivating neural circuits associated with a particular memory. This involves the temporary suppression of other circuits to avoid interference. This is analogous to the machines in a factory shutting down for material resupply, allowing for focused production on a specific task.
