Neurotoxicity of Cycads: An Annotated Bibliography for the Years 1829-1989

Abstract

This is an annotated bibliography of references to cycad toxicity. It provides a selection pertinent to the developing reputation of cycads for producing neurotoxic effects when fed or applied to man or beast. The references are arranged chronologically, dating from the earliest found (1829) to early 1989, thus providing a sequence of the evolution from hearsay to clear evidence and experimental studies.
