Are hydrogen breath tests valid in the elderly?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Irrelevant unexpected stimuli elicit various types of inhibitory processes modulated by ongoing activity. An index of the inhibitory processes, namely the N2b and P3a event-related potentials (ERP), shows marked age-related differences. OBJECTIVE:In this experiment, we attempted to separate the effects of i...
