Abstrakt: Rattus norvegicus is the second most used laboratory species and the most widely used model in neuroscience. Nonetheless, there is still no agreement regarding the temporal relationship of development between humans and rats. We addressed this question by examining the time required to reach a set of homologous developmental milestones in both species. With this purpose, a database was generated with data collected through a bibliographic survey. This database was in turn compared with other databases about the same topic present in the literature. Finally, the databases were combined, covering for the first time the entire development of the rat including the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods. This combined database includes 362 dates of 181 developmental events for each species. The developmental relationship between humans and rats was better fit by a logarithmic function than by a linear function. As development progresses, an increase in the dispersion of the data is observed. Developmental relationships should not be interpreted as a univocal equivalence. In this work is proposed an alternative interpretation where the age of one species is translated into a range of ages in the other.
