Direct physical interaction is an essential aspect of social interaction in various mammal species. Restricting such interaction in mice lead to the observation of specific separation-induced social communication.Here, we separated sex- and age-matched mice from each other using a transparent Plexiglas divider containing a porous section at its bottom. Following this separation phase, the divider was removed, and mice were allowed to freely interact with one another. During both the separation and unification phases audio and video were recorded. Separated mice emitted a set of vocalizations d
