A specialization has been found in the nasal retina of late embryonic and newly hatched chicks of the domestic fowl. In whole mounts of the retina, there is a central node about 2 mm from the dorsal end of the optic disc and a set of structures radiating out from this node. This complex has been named the aster. Sections of the retina show that the structures which form the aster lie in the inner nuclear layer. The specialization has been classed as an afoveate area centralis.
在家禽的晚期胚胎和新孵化雏鸡的鼻侧视网膜中发现了一种特化现象。在视网膜的整装标本中，距视盘背端约2毫米处有一个中央节点，还有一组结构从该节点向外辐射。这个复合体被命名为星状体。视网膜切片显示，构成星状体的结构位于内核层。这种特化被归类为无中央凹的中央区。
