NRS 361.4723 provides a partial abatement of taxes. To calculate the tax on a new home that does not qualify for the tax abatement, let's assume you have a house with a taxable value of $200,000 located in the City of Las Vegas with a tax rate of $3.50 per hundred dollars of assessed value.
Drugs like morphine or cocaine have been referred to as chemical scalpels because of their very precise effects on just one neurotransmitter system. Alcohol on the other hand is much more like a chemical hand grenade in that it affects just about all parts of the brain and all neurotransmitter systems.
Although GABA activity doesn't entirely explain alcohol's effects and we don't know exactly what the delta receptor does, a big part of the mystery seems to have come unraveled. Because GABA is the primary inhibitory neuron in the brain, it can affect virtually every system. Alcohol is more than simply a depressant. The physical structure of the brain remains constant, but the addition of a tiny chemical drastically alters brain function and ultimately behavior. Understanding how alcohol affects our brain also offers insight into how our brains work in general. So the next time you drink, even though you may be killing some valuable brain cells, you can toast to the fact that you're contributing to neuroscience. Notes: Giancola PR, Zeichner A.
