I think it is time to (re)read tutorial D:

http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/school/neuron/t ... /tutD.html

Doing a search on hh.mod in the directory and its subdirectories where you installed neuron will give you the mod file in which the Hodgkin Huxley mechanisms are implemented.

With the help of the tutorial you should be able to interpret this mod file. On the neuron website you can also find the full documentation on NMODL, in case your appetite is raised.

Hint: the functions your looking for are hidden in the calculations of *inf and *tau, where * is equal to m,h or n.
