Note: Frequent (3+): Indicates a high prevalence or severity of polyglutamine inclusions in the respective brain region. Moderate (2+): Suggests a moderate prevalence or severity of polyglutamine inclusions. Mild (1+): Implies a mild presence or severity of polyglutamine inclusions. Isolated (0.5): Indicates sporadic or isolated instances of polyglutamine inclusions. None (0): Denotes the absence of polyglutamine inclusions in the respective brain region.
