A significant portion of adolescents suffer from mental illnesses and persistent pain due to repeated stress. The components of the nervous system that link stress and pain in early life remain unclear. Prior studies in adult mice implicated the innate immune system, specifically Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as critical for inducing long-term anxiety and pain-like behaviors in social defeat stress (SDS) models. In this work, we investigated the pain and anxiety behavioral phenotypes of wild-type and TLR4-deficient juvenile mice subjected to repeated SDS and evaluated the engagement of TLR4 by measuring dimerization in the spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, and prefrontal cortex. Male juvenile (4-week-old) mice (C57BL/6J or
