Hi Prospect
I have to wonder if the baby feels pain because even though people say that most of the stuff is not hooked up yet. That does not mean that what is hooked up is not transmitting pain. The brain may use what is hooked up and when it becomes more developed it may switch the circuit over to what we use now. The exmple that comes to mind is a Hemispherectomy if I spelled that right? Where in a child at the age of 5 can have half their brain removed and the brain will re-direct the functions lost to the other side. OK this may not apply but it shows the marvel of the brain.
