      abstract     = {Although the mechanisms underlying the spatial pattern
                      formation of sensory maps have been extensively
                      investigated, those triggering sensory map formation during
                      development are largely unknown. Here we show that the birth
                      of pups instructively and selectively regulates the
                      initiation of barrel formation in the somatosensory cortex
                      by reducing serotonin concentration. We found that preterm
                      birth accelerated barrel formation, whereas it did not
                      affect either barreloid formation or barrel structural
                      plasticity. We also found that serotonin was selectively
                      reduced soon after birth and that the reduction of serotonin
                      was triggered by birth. The reduction of serotonin was
                      necessary and sufficient for the effect of birth on barrel
                      formation. Interestingly, the regulatory mechanisms
                      described here were also found to regulate eye-specific
                      segregation in the visual system, suggesting that they are
                      utilized in various brain regions. Our results shed light on
                      roles of birth and serotonin in sensory map formation.},
