This applet gives an introduction to the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
It outlines the dynamics of the membrane voltage
and membrane currents.
It was written by Thomas Pollinger.

Try this:
set current clamp to 0.4; duration to 0.1, end 100
"show"
"run" current clamp of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7
(in
that order without clearing, to see all in the same graph)
notice how once
over 0.5, we get similar action potentials, always of the same magnitude
note also the faster rise of n, and the symmetry of m and h
