A Frontiers in Neuroscience editorial highlights mounting evidence that neuropsychiatric symptoms track across infections, but cautions that biological causal pathways remain uncertain. The piece synthesizes studies on symptom overlap and emphasizes that observed associations do not yet resolve mechanisms. In parallel, a Frontiers in Neurology editorial synthesizes pediatric epilepsy research tying screen exposure risks to seizure activity, while also reviewing AI-enabled diagnostics and stigma impacts on children and families. Together, the commentaries underscore a clinical reality: neuro symptoms frequently appear across disparate etiologies, but translation into actionable interventions remains uneven.
