I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the new issue of a lone ant? wrong' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a lone ant? wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'lone'+'ant'='aloneant'
'aloneant' is an anagram of 'NEONATAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neonatal that I've seen before include "Recently delivered" , "Relating to the newborn" , "Describing newly-born" , "Relating to new baby" , "that's been given a new life" .)
