[Affective disorders: News in chronobiological models].
Good news on chronobiological models of affective disorders are coming from a therapeutic innovation in the field of antidepressive action. Coming back to fundamentals by reconsidering the importance of the role of biological rhythms impairment in dysthymic pathology, a new interest bored on studies exploring short periodicities, so-called "ultradian" ones, on the basis of pharmacodynamics in the concept of therapeutic "window" of administration. The priority of circadian rhythms due to the major external biological desynchronization in depression, as well as the importance of sleep and alertness pathology, the spectacular relief of the depressive mood upon sleep deprivation, and the strong reduction of sleep need in mania, delayed exploration of ultradian exaltation of harmonic circadian components, marking a "buzz" of rhythmic structure and calling a "chronobiotic compound" which would be able to apply a "reset" to the temporal organisation. Another return to the origin leads to the experimental genomics, informing nor the "depressivity" but manic pathogenesis, in a mouse gene model which queries on the share of addictive and affective disorders.
