Since the role of medicinal plants in learning and memory has attracted the attention of many researchers. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to report the native medicinal plants of Iran that are used for memory and learning. According to the findings, Rosmarinus officinale, Ficus carica, Melissa officinalis, Silybum marianum, Glycine max, Nigella sativa, Cannabis sativa, Origanum vulgare L., and Boswellia spp. are some of the native medicinal plants of Iran that are used to improve memory and learning.
