Kölliker's organ, which is a transient structure of cochlea during development, in late embryonic and early postnatal period, is one of the signs of cochlear immaturity.Kölliker's organ degradates after the sensory structures become sensitive to external sound. The putative role of Kölliker's organ is important for generating the intrinsic spontaneous activity whichpromotes the development and maturation of a fully functional auditory system.
柯氏器是耳蜗发育过程中的一个短暂结构,在胚胎后期和出生后早期,是耳蜗不成熟的标志之一。在感觉结构对外部声音变得敏感后,柯氏器会退化。柯氏器的假定作用对于产生内在的自发活动很重要,这种活动促进了功能完备的听觉系统的发育和成熟。
