Engineered mammalian cells are key for biotechnology by enabling broad applications ranging from in vitro model systems to therapeutic biofactories. Engineered cell lines exist as a population containing sub-lineages of cell clones that exhibit substantial genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. There is still a limited understanding of the source of this inter-clonal heterogeneity as well as its implications for biotechnological applications.

When the animal is freely moving in an open arena the firing fields of each grid cell tend to form a highly regular, hexagonal lattice spanning the environment. However, firing rates vary from field to field and change under contextual modifications, whereas the field locations shift at most by a small amount under such "rate remapping.
