We constructed a total of 6 new GLMs (rows 2-7) to control for the findings shown in Fig. 7C (row 1). Each time, we recreated the GLM of Fig. 7C but added a second independent variable to the model to examine whether the behavior of the animals could explain the structured heterogeneity in their partial remapping. Across all 6 controls, the correlation between the two types of neural data (independent variable 1 and dependent variable) was high, as indicated by the non-zero slope values (m1). The relationship between the neural variables remained significant (p(1) < 0.05) even after the incorporation of the behavioral controls. However, we found no correlation between the behavioral data and the neural data (independent variable 2 and dependent variable), as indicated by the negligible slope values (m2). The relationship between the behavioral and neural data was not significant (p(2) > 0.05), confirming that the variability in the animals' remapping characteristics cannot be explained by the variability in these behavioral metrics.
