Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L) affects cognition in lab animals and found that it generally improves memory and cognitive performance in both normal and cognitively impaired animals.
The studies analyzed show a positive effect size, indicating that rosemary and its active components could be potential agents for enhancing cognition, although there was significant variability among the studies.
Despite consistent findings, the research revealed heterogeneity, meaning differences in study methods and results, and subgroup analyses couldn't identify specific factors responsible for this variability.]
