the organ of corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea. this highly varied strip of epithelial cells allows for transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses' action potential. transduction occurs through vibrations of structures in the inner ear causing displacement of cochlear fluid and movement of hair cells at the organ of corti to produce electrochemical signals.









































italian anatomist alfonso giacomo gaspare corti (1822–1876) discovered the organ of corti in 1851. the structure evolved from the basilar papilla and is crucial for mechanotransduction in mammals.
