• The neuroscience of mammalian associative learning. (2005, background): “During fear conditioning, theta rhythm activity generated by a tone paired with shock synchronizes in hippocampus and amygdala (Seidenbecher et al. 2003).”
• Bridging emotion theory and neurobiology through dynamic systems modeling (2005, background): “These ideas find support in recent evidence that HPC-AM synchronization at theta frequencies follows fear conditioning and peaks when animals confront the fear-inducing stimulus (Seidenbecher et al. 2003).”
• The amygdala modulates the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences. (2004, background): “…findings that Pavlovian fear conditioning induces an increase in synchronization of theta-frequency activity in the lateral amygdala and CA1 region of the hippocampus strongly suggest that activation of an amygdala-hippocampus circuit is involved in fear-based learning (Seidenbecher et al. 2003).”
• Amygdala inhibitory circuits and the control of fear memory. (2009, background): “The amygdala exhibits theta activity that phase-locks with hippocampal theta during retrieval of aversive memories (Paré et al., 2002; Seidenbecher et al., 2003).”
• What is the function of hippocampal theta rhythm?—Linking behavioral data to phasic properties of field potential and unit recording data (2005, background): “However, theta rhythm (albeit at lower frequencies) also appears during immobility in rats and mice during fear conditioning (Whishaw, 1972; Sainsbury et al., 1987a; Seidenbecher et al., 2003), or attention to predators (Sainsbury et al.”
• Dynamic causal modeling for EEG and MEG (2009, methodology): “The retrieval of negative memories, in response to a CS, has been found to be correlated with y-band coupling between the hippocampus (CA1) and the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) [Seidenbecher et al., 2003].”
• Awake reactivation of emotional memory traces through hippocampal-neocortical interactions (2016, positive): “Electrophysiological recordings in rodents revealed that, during acquisition and expression of conditioned fear, theta coherence between amygdala and hippocampus is increased (Seidenbecher et al., 2003).”
• Synchronized activity between the ventral hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex during anxiety (2010, positive): “Theta-frequency synchrony has been shown between the dHPC and the mPFC during working memory (Jones and Wilson, 2005), the striatum during learning (DeCoteau et al., 2007), and the amygdala during fear conditioning (Seidenbecher et al., 2003).”
• Graph theory and networks in Biology. (2006, methodology): “In a more recent study [207], it was investigated how the interactions between selected areas in the hippocampus and amygdala in fear-conditioned mice compare against those in controls.”

• Plastic Synaptic Networks of the Amygdala for the Acquisition, Expression, and Extinction of Conditioned Fear (2010, neutral): “In fact, the synchrony of hippocampal CA1 and LA theta increases during consolidation (458) and reconsolidation (336) of fear memories, while theta synchrony decreases at remote memory stages (Fig.”
