Some recent notable publications include:

  • Repeated low doses of LSD in healthy adults: A placebo-controlled, dose-response study (2022, Addiction Biology)
  • Low doses of LSD reduce broadband oscillatory power and modulate event-related potentials in healthy adults (2021, Psychopharmacology)
  • Low doses of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) increase reward-related brain activity (2022, Neuropsychopharmacology)
  • Adolescents are more sensitive than adults to acute behavioral and cognitive effects of THC (2022, Neuropsychopharmacology)
  • Greater subjective effects of a low dose of LSD in participants with depressed mood (2023, Neuropsychopharmacology)

Frequent coauthors in Royce Lee's research include Harriet de Wit, Hanna Molla, Conor H. Murray, Ilaria Tare, and James E. Glazer. This collaboration reflects a consistent research network contributing to their scientific output across multiple studies.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a career in psychology opens doors to a range of online degrees and specializations. One rapidly growing area is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), with Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) roles in high demand across the country. Students often begin with an undergraduate program in psychology or a related field before pursuing a master’s degree focused on ABA.

Each state and region may have distinctive educational pathways and certification requirements. For example, those interested can learn how to become a bcba in Glendale and compare this process to how to become a bcba in Greensboro. While the core requirements, like supervised experience and passing the BCBA exam, remain consistent, local regulations and job market demands can differ.

For more detailed insights, prospective students can review Henderson bcba requirements and Honolulu bcba requirements to understand specific steps in those cities. Check Henderson bcba requirements and Honolulu bcba requirements for current guidelines. Understanding these pathways will help you choose the best online psychology program and carve out an effective career plan.
