Abstract
Aim: This review provides attention to different species of plants protecting neurons and enhancing neurite growth. Methodology: Datas regarding the global burden of neurological disorders along with the use of different parts of the plant which provides traditional healing effect existing in some parts of the World were collected from studies carried out by several researchers. Summary of Review: The phytochemical exploration of indigenous flora provided hundreds of CNS active plants covering the whole spectrum of activity such as psychoanaleptic, psycholeptic and psychodysleptic effects. Many studies have shown data for enhancing neurite outgrowth beyond neuroprotection.
