<P> 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 . </P>
