This study shows that neonatal surgical injury changes adult social behavior and cortical network responses to subsequent injury in rats.

This study shows that microglia phagocytose A-fibre terminals in the spinal cord dorsal horn during postnatal development, and their absence leads to hypersensitivity to dynamic touch.

This study shows that neonatal injury increases microglial phagocytosis of GABAergic synapses in the spinal dorsal horn, leading to long-term structural changes and altered responses to adult re-injury.
