Résumé

Bipolar disorders (BD) is a common, chronic and disabling psychiatric condition. In addition to being characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity, notable disturbances of sleep and cognitive function are frequently observed in all phases of the disease. Currently, there is no readily available biomarker in current clinical practice to help diagnose or predict the disease course. Thus, identification of biomarkers in BD is today a major challenge. In this context, the study of electrophysiological biomarkers based on electroretinogram (ERG) measurements in BD seems highly promising. The BiMAR study aims to compare electrophysiological data measured with ERG between a group of euthymic patients with BD and a group of healthy control subjects. Secondarily, we will also describe the existing potential relationship between clinical, sleep and neuropsychological phenotypes of patients and electrophysiological data.
