Nissan call that part the Spiral Cable, Renault call it the Slip-Ring some other manufacturers call it a Squib. It allows electrical circuits to rotate with the steering (Air-Bag, Horn, and any switches that maybe attached to the steering wheel.) Normal wiring would break when being constantly turned.
