Production and propagation of neutrinos in hot and dense matter plays an important role in the thermal evolution of neutron stars. In this article we review the micro-physics that influences weak interaction rates in dense matter containing nucleons, leptons and or quarks. We show that these rates depend sensitively on the strong and electromagnetic correlations between baryons. We present new results, obtained using molecular dynamics, for the response of dense plasma of heavy ions. Neutrino rates are also shown to be sensitive to the phase structure of matter at extreme density. We highlight recent calculations of neutrino rates in dense color superconducting phases of quark matter. We present a brief discussion of how these differences may affect the early evolution of a neutron star.
