Abstract
Until 1985, it was widely believed that neonates did not experience pain. However, after years of neglect, there is starting to be research done on this topic and a bigger focus on trying to relieve pain in these infants. Some of this research specifically focuses on how the nervous system changes in response to noxious stimuli and untreated pain.
