Data from a new study indicate that neonates suffering from infection experience modulated nociceptive processing and distinct neurologic microstates compared with a control group. Furthermore, responses to noxious stimuli remained modulated in neonates whose infections resolved.

Seven microstates were identified that explained 84.83% and 90.98% of the variance in the response following the noxious stimuli in neonates with a
