Participants Wanted for a Research Study: Identifying Neural Pathways Implicated in Older Adults’ Emotional Well-being
University of Connecticut
Participants Wanted for a Research Study
Identifying Neural Pathways Implicated in Older Adults’ Emotional Well-being
This study is designed to research and identify the underlying biological factors that promote
better emotional well-being in older adults. Typically, older adults have a more positive affect and
greater life satisfaction than younger adults due a reported greater mindfulness. In this study,
participants are asked to complete a two-part fMRI scan to assess DMN connectivity which is
associated with emotional regulation. They will complete a 20-minute resting scan and a 20-minute
emotion expectation task while in the scanner. Completion of the assessment should take no longer
than 1.5 hours.
To be eligible to participate:
Must be 65+ * Fluent in English * Right-handed
For more information, or to sign up for the study, please contact:

PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR BLIND OR TOTALLY DISABLED PERSONS
Connecticut law provides for a $3,000 assessment exemption for taxpayers who are legally blind. Proof of the blindness (certification by a qualified medical practitioner) must be presented to the Assessor prior to October 1 in order for the exemption to be applied to that assessment year’s tax bill.
Connecticut law also provides for a $1,000 exemption for totally disabled persons who are receiving benefits under a federal, state or local retirement plan, which contains requirements comparable to those of the Social Security Administration. Proof of disability must be presented to the Assessor prior to October 1 in order for the exemption to be applied to that assessment year’s taxes.
Homeowners who are totally disabled may also be qualified for tax credits under the State-sponsored Homeowners Program even if they have not reached age 65. Please refer to the information in this brochure under the title “Property Tax Credits for Senior and Disabled Persons.”
