Hibbeln, J.R. and Edwards, R.W. have some interesting papers from the NIH Workshop on Omega-3: Essential Fatty Acids and Psychiatric Diseases - I'm not sure if they've been published yet but are available from the authors if you check the workshop web site.
Between the bibliographies in the books and articles, most of the important papers should be covered.The Paleolithic diet and problems with the modern western diet:
Eaton, S.B., Konner, M. "Paleolithic nutrition: a consideration of its nature and current implications" N Engl J Med 312 (1985) 283-289

No more grumpy posts. I promise.
