Which specific brain activity does it map to? Is it the the firing of neurons? Does it emerge from all of them? How many do you need to make a thought? Does anything else play a role, like the structures within cells? Or can we ignore those bits? How does memory work?
Neocortex mostly, although some supposing amount of it is related to the amygdala. Mostly, there is alot of stuff about neurotransmitters modulating that activity though. Depends on the kind of thought. They can pretty reasonably narrow down some kinds of memory to s few cm2 of brain. Everything plays a role. I could find your some neuroscience tiktoks if you like. You'd have to be a bit more specific about memory for me to give you an answer. From my understanding every concept is a patten of neural segments. Memory is your brain replaying the concepts for a specific thing or event. Which is why over time memories can get fuzzy or change. Each time it is an active process.

If you wanna actually get into it there is a MIT lecture series about neuroscience. I think this would cover most the stuff you are interested way better than my fuzzy explanations
