The authors search for the Flavor-Changing Neutral Current decays of the top quark t {yields} q{gamma} and t {yields} qZ (here q represents the c and u quarks) in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV from a dataset with an integrated luminosity of approximately 110 pb{sup {minus}1} collected during the 1992-1995 run of the Collider Detector at Fermilab. They set limits on the branching fractions BF (t {yields} q{gamma}) < 2.9% (at 95% CL) and BF (t {yields} qZ) < 44% (at 90% CL), consistent with the Standard Model.
