Lightroom - Initial Adjustments

What does Lightroom do when you initially import an image? For many RAW files I import the initial preview looks faded, and there are some pixels missing (that last part is fine - it happens to all digital sensors). However, after importing the missing pixels are replaced, and the colors are boosted (perhaps including a boost in contrast). Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I just wanted to know what is happening in the background.
Note that I did not set up Lightroom room to run any macros or other tweaks to the images when importing.
