Threshold-Action potential

Which is the level of threshold, when starts an action potential?
In mammalian is -55 mV

I can change this values in neuron?

thanks

This thread was moved to "General questions . . . " because it does not pertain to
NEURON.

The Hodgkin-Huxley action potential does not have a threshold voltage. This was
established over 30 years ago, although I do not have a citation at hand.
