It is a representation of reality that the mind finds useful. You have a concept of every object. It is how you would faithfully describe what it is, how it's made, and what uses it has.
When you engage in conceptual thinking, you are creating prototypes or paradigms that attempt to explain the world, and may be used to then formulate plans of action.
Cognitive studies have not advanced far enough to explain how this is represented on a neurological level.

A concept is the brain's representation of reality, whether real or imagined.
Concepts emerge through the brains ability to categorize, classify and consider information. A concept is also the only thing that the conscious mind can directly manipulate, although arguably emotions precede concepts.
I would argue that an emotion is also a sort of concept, since through our perception we perceive an abstraction of ourselves. But concepts, unlike emotions are different in that we do not experience concepts as a part of our being or essence, whereas emotions feel like they are being channeled into us with no rational control. Unlike concepts which seem to exist in a separate space, our ability to interact with emotions is limited to modifying the causes of the emotion. Concepts themselves, even if they can generate an emotion like the concept of a Fascist / Communist state or a worldwide conspiracy causes fear, are not "experienced" but perceived.
The realization that we think in mental objects called concepts casts doubt on our ability to correctly understand / perceive anything.
