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.
