Hi LiXiang,

The adult mouse brain atlas is primarily a general image coordinate system, rather than an injection targeting system. However, there are some community examples of how to use it for effective injection targeting: [How to transform CCF (x, y, z) coordinates into stereotactic coordinates](https://community.brain-map.org/t/how-to-transform-ccf-x-y-z-coordinates-into-stereotactic-coordinates/1858). There are likely nuances to your specific needs that need to be factored in.

Best,  
Tyler
