Abstract(in English) Detection of auditory cues for particular emotion such as fear and pleasure may bring benefits for animals to survive. Accumulating evidences have showed the possibility that the sensory cortex is involved in such emotional computation. The present work has explored neural signatures of emotions in the spatio-temporal activity pattern of auditory cortex of rats after emotional learning of auditory cues. Our experimental data demonstrate that auditory saliency is likely represented in transient responses within a post stimulus latency of a few 100 ms, where emotional valence is represented in steady-state responses on the order of seconds.
