A large percentage of spiral galaxies are forming stars at a very high rate in their nuclei. There are indications that the process of star formation is modified significantly in these regions, compared with the solar neighborhood. The star formation may be fueled by interstellar material that is captured by the nucleus. Further work is needed to explore these possibilities and to establish the evolutionary connections among galactic nuclei, various types of which can be distinguished by their radically different infrared properties.
