(NewsNation) — Artificial intelligence could accelerate the development of drugs which could help with mental health disorders.

According to an Uppsala University study published in Science Advances, AI can more quickly and accurately identify receptors that provide the critical information needed to produce drugs prescribed for mental health issues.

In doing so, their more efficient discovery method can speed up the process of drug discovery and production.

“The accuracy of the structures generated with AI was astonishing — I couldn’t believe it,” said Jens Carlsson, leader of the Uppsala study told Phys.org.

“The results also show that modeling with AI is significantly better than traditional methods. We can now use the same strategy for receptors that we previously could only dream of working with.”
