Hippocampal remapping describes the phenomenon of substantial reshuffling of the spatial preferences of hippocampal place cells in response to environmental changes. Disparate neural representations in different environments could reduce interference between competing memories, hence functionally supporting robust context-dependent spatial cognition. Experimental data on existing remapping studies exhibit a diverse range of physiological properties, sometimes with seemingly conflicting results. In particular, subtle changes in experimental conditions lead to qualitatively different results. De
